Alright guys...I'm fixin to show some of my ignorance here.
Just been watching some Youtube videos on crosswind landings. It appears that many of the larger aircraft were actually landing in a crab--not only the test flights. The aircraft that I've flown (except the T-38) all require you to land without any side-loads by either executing the wing-low method around 200-300 feet or kicking it out in the flare (not recommended in the Maddog).
Were these guys landing correctly for their respective aircraft or were these just shots of dorked up landings that turned out OK? Please enlighten my aerodynamically challenged mind.
Thanks
