Oh UPS….

Can I add Elizabeth Hurley and Christie Brinkley that list?

Yes. And Rebecca De Mornay.

These vids are often taken with a lens (telephoto maybe?) that exaggerates the crab.

Still, that was hairy AF. Looked like they almost got #1 also

Eh the angle they're filming the runway from is the angle, no exaggeration there lol. I have very few shots like that in my whole life, those are extreme crab angles.

The 747 is designed to land in a crab.

Early 737's too. The 737-200 was freaky in a heavy crosswind.

The originals and classics both had castering main landing gear. Taxing out behind them they would crab in a crosswind.

Probably management Capt doing OE on new hire(s)…

I THINK the other person has been here for a while. At least we know what CQ 2027 will involve.

I don’t make the call when I wear my airline hat, but wearing my other hat, in a particularly fuel limited gas guzzler, I’d have to find a pretty compelling reason to stick around for more than 2. Even trying it again after a first missed would be questionable unless something had changed. Apples to oranges, but I feel like a similar thought process could be applied to most flying. SE AK probably being an outlier, where one direction gets you in, while the other end of the runway is socked in.

It's been awhile since I played Top Gun on NES, but doesn't a tanker just come from the side screen and fill you up so you can try again.

Thankfully the real thing, is in some ways, less difficult than the Nintendo tanker. Although ive never done boom refueling.....which I imagine is easier than what we do with the probe.
