I'm sure the first time most of us saw that was on the T.V. commercial.
I would be surprised if they actually went out and did that to an
airplane for a T.V commercial. I'm sure they just computer gen'd it up.
I wouldn't think the FAA would be too happy about busting up a plane
for a commercial.

Never saw the commercial.

But I'm just going by the fact hat it bounces so fast and hard.
Anyone who's even watched an airliner land would realize they
just couldn't bounce that fast. Just think of the ride for the
passengers and crew. Also, for those who know something about
planes, just look at the elevator. No movement whatsoever.

Remember the video of that one test flight of the F-22 where the
flight control system went whacky and the thing was porposing?
Even that, a high performace fighter, wasn't bouncing that fast.
