    I've seen it done in a commercial, but I suspect it's either done by pro stuntmen or on an animationest computer. Jets land at a fairly high speed (higher than pick-ups can go) and small pick-ups aren't too stable with an unsecured load.. Especially one that weighs more than the pick up is rated to carry.

    Obviously fake. It was done for a Nissan commercial. Other commercials have their trucks doing snowboarding tricks.
