Those landings are a lot of stress on the gear. :nope:

Has anyone seen a B-52 land or take off in a crosswind?

All the wheels turn to the aircraft can flare in the crab. A very weird sight the first time you see it.

I bet the last one in the compilation converted some passengers to "lets go by train in the future". :D

Ho ho, oooh, that could have gone so wrong. Good quick counter rudder there. :salute:

[Schroeder]

We've had the same with a biplane 8 weeks or so ago. After touch down one wing was lifted up by strong winds and the opposite wing almost touched the ground.:dead:
