Refreshing Video

[Green]

I've posted this before but for those of you who haven't seen it, it's a pretty cool video of max crosswind component testing.

WOW!

I would love to know how much crosswind was in the last landing of the 777. It looks like it touched down in almost a 45 degree crab. That might be the sickest vid I've seen posted on here. THAT was cool.

Why do you think that happened on the second video?

I think it was just a poor approach followed by a go-around. The dc-8 was notoriously hard to land in a crosswind.

I heard that the FO check out in the 777 for that pilot was only 8 hours because he was a WMU grad!
