After a bit more searching, it looks like it is, I just saw it on the msn page just before coming to work and thought, cool. post :p

However, as I used to fly model aircraft, what I saw was possible with the correct plane as this comment also mentions;
QuoteVery difficult to manage that - needs a lot of skill and even more luck. Physics and aerodynamics however do not prohibit it. SOme of those planes have such a high thrust to weight ratio that they can actually 'hang from the propellor' as this one seems to have done just before hitting the ground. After he lost the wing he was flying a very poor helicopter and not a broken airplane. I don't know whether the video is true or fake but it is certainly plausible.
