Apart from it being in the USA, where anything is possible, this is almost certainly staged. The relevant questions are not whether it was fake, more so whether it was legal. Main questions are, is the pilot qualified, is the aircraft registered and maintained appropriately, was permission sought for the act, was the act performed over private property with the owners consent, what risk was there to non-participating public persons and property. At the end of the day it just comes down to was the aircraft operated in an unsafe manner whilst in flight.
The other guy that was doing donuts in his own paddock might not be the full six pack, but he did nothing wrong. No intention to get airborne, was just operating a motor vehicle to its destruction on his own land. If he drove it onto a public road or someone else property that's another matter, like with the guy that drove his plane to the local pub in WA.
