Aircraft fact

Edit
So who would've thought this Battlefield 1942 video has some basis in fact.


At least the falling out of the plane and landing back in it part. 

In 1917 Grahame Donald fell out of his Sopwith Camel airplane when his safety strap broke during a loop. He fell for several thousand feet before miraculously landing back on his own plane. He climbed back to his seat and landed the plane without any problems. Dude's got some incredible luck.

    Very cool gaming. Hard to believe that thing happened, but I guess it was 1917...

    I dunno if I would have to time to launch a grenade at another plane, I'd be to busy crapping myself.

    That guy must have the biggest balls in history. It's a shame he didn't take out another plane in the process, like in the video.

    Wow Mr.Donald is very lucky, I bet if he wasn't so shocked from that experience he would probably try doing more loops ;)
