Definitely not unusual. You can land it in a crab on a dry runway up to 40 knots. You'll have your hands full tracking centerline after touchdown, but the jet can handle the lateral load (best to at least kick some of it out if you can, though).Except for the euro style crabbed landing, it looks like a textbook crap day with an excellent bounced landing recovery. The boards did their job, and as dasleben said, good job not hitting the tail. Even better that the guy kept flying it once he was on the ground.

jtrain609 said:I'm sure you can, it's just that every video that guy has put out shows every aircraft landing in a crab no matter what it is, so I tend to think of it as a technique employed over there in the training pipeline.
Maybe... I've done it before in a 40 knot crosswind on a wet runway, though.I'm sure you can, it's just that every video that guy has put out shows every aircraft landing in a crab no matter what it is, so I tend to think of it as a technique employed over there in the training pipeline.
No guts no GLoRY.SIR,
You were reading my mind, I saw this video, was torn whether or not to post it, and decided not to.
Just wanted to point that out.
That landing tho.
No guts no GLoRY.
