I think the moral of the story is that Boeing 777 test pilots are very good. They made it look easy!

i think the boeing clips are from x-wind testing w/o corrections. i don't think that's really the way boeing wants you to land the airplane.

I've seen a much more extensive clip of the 777 crosswind tests. They are amazing to see. Wish I had a link. That is one tough airplane.
If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going...

Really? I would think putting the upwind wing down might risk striking the engine. Either way, they were dead-on steady.

Both the 747-400 and 777 X-Wind landing video's were EXCELLENT! Amazing to see those aircraft land in that sort of wind!! Atta Boy BOEING!
