Admittedly I have not flown as sole pilot in >20y and I've never been an airline pilot (just small prop jobs)...
2 Q:

- Doesn't it seem to anyone else he didn't de-crab enough just before touch down, and put a hell of a lot of strain on the main gear ? I cringed when watching that snap change of direction upon touchdown.
- It looks awesome, makes for great media stuff, but.... isn't that their job? We tend to make everyone heroes these days in the media... I'd expect any certified airline pilot to have those skills. If I'm wrong about that, I need to rethink who I fly with....

Maybe it's just me asking for too much... Cool video - no argument.
