Watch this video taken from an airshow in New Jersy. John Moody gets his landing gear, elevator and engine shot while in flight. Watch what happens when the engine quits. Having no landing gear...he must find a way to land! pFlying.com

  • I haven't read all the comments but as for "fake vs. real" -- It is an airshow comedy act. So the pilot really did modify the Easy Riser to be able to jettison parts. No, no gunfire was involved. It's like the old airshow acts where a farmer from the crowd gets a free ride in a Piper Cub and accidentally takes off alone and does some crazy flying -- it's a joke, the 'farmer' being the airshow pilot, but the flying is a very real demonstration of skill.

  • Fake

    

  • great show

  • @RockinSneakers87 wow nothing gets past U

  • Really cool, John Mooney was the first person to put an engine on a hang glider. He perfected it and called it an ultralight aircraft.

    He also did a lot of air shows around the country. Nothing fake about this guy, he is a very talented person and has contributed a lot to the general Avation community and ultralight movement.
