Yep, crosswind is nice on final approach.

NICHT LANDEN!

Oh come on guys! Quit showing off!

Looks like airliners trying to imitate carrier landings.

Those landings are a lot of stress on the gear.

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".

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

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.
