HOLY CRAP........
Now that is what I call a cross wind.
I'll bet there were some passangers cleaning out their pants after that one! :o :o :o
Mmmmm ........ REALLY glad I watched that. I have a flight tomorrow and gale force winds are forecast. Off to Dublin fair city, looks like I will need a pint of the black stuff before leaving, never mind after arriving!!! ;)

I would have to agree with you on that! :D
That's not how i learned to do crosswind landings! Yikes!
As Ron White would say, "Hit something hard, I don't want to limp away from this crash"!!! :D ;D That's scary!!!
100 mile an hour cross winds? Holy crap that pilot is amazing! We have a very dear friend who was a BA 747 pilot flying into Hong Kong (for any of you have have ever flown into HG) there is H2O on all sides...he was flying into a big arse storm with a boatload of passengers and they (the pilots on BA are wired up) were scared to death to land the flight in any way safe........and his heart skipped several beats...he was grounded for a while until his heart got back into normal beat...He has been piloting for 20+ years (on jumbos) and said he was never so afraid in his life. Scary...but the safest way to travel!!
After watching that landing, Sure glad that I don't fly but 1 time every 5-10 years. I'll just keep my feet on the ground.
I wonder if the pilot had touch and go practice landing on an aircraft carrier.
I only fly once or twice a year, but that will be in my mind for the next few flights :o...
I hate flying and I just had to last week so I a glad I didn't see that video before I left for my trip..lol If that was my plane it would be a very long time before I stepped back on one.
