Default Is this a put-on?

Is this video possible? Is this a put-on by a pilot/plane of
extraordinary means?

To recap the video: Stunt pilot loses a wing during an air show.
Aircraft keeps flying for 30 seconds, sometimes upside down. Just as
plane is about to crash, plane becomes level and pilot lands on main
gear.

Probably a fake:
