World's best pilot?

My opinion: flying sequence=model. Aircraft on ground with engine shutting down and pilot opening canopy=real airplane.

There are a lot of scale models that look like real airplanes. I think the whole video was a set-up. My guess is that the wing "disconnected" with the help of radio control signal set up for just that purpose. The bouncing landing looked like a model airplane to me. A real airplane would not land that short without major, major damage, i.e. collapsed landing gear, cartwheeling, fire and lots of bent airplane.
