This is the same video that I posted about in this thread three days ago:

The original LiveLeak page indicates the airplane was in Gelendzhik, Russia. The Youtube copy doesn't appear to provide that basic information.

Sorry Jim I didn't see it..

No problem at all, since I've made the same sort of posting mistake and need to reserve the right to do it again!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the video is real and probably not a staged event. Looks like too an nice airplane to wreck for a 30 second video. Only question is whether the wind is natural or from another aircraft doing a run-up.
