in a decade or more, since needing to slip (IMHO) means poor planning

Many people prefer to use a forward slip in a crosswind situation
instead of a crab since it is easier to land in that configuration (i.e.
you don't have to switch from a crab to a forward slip at the last
minute). I don't do it that way, but know plenty who do.
