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.

There's about three ways of landing a plane in a crosswind, from when I can observe as a non-professional, Boeing tends to build pretty stout landing gear which gives a pilot more options.
