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.

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.

Haha!!! Call the cops? What are they going to do. I guess they'd have to shoot it down. Thanks for the laugh.
