We had a couple of very windy days over here in Europe.
Look at a crosswind landing of an A320 at HAM, a near crash:

Next time someone tries to tell you that airliners just "kick it
straight" when they land, like this guy did, show em this...

I just sent this out this afternoon to our human factors people as an
example of how deeply a pilot has to fly into a problem before
realizing it isn't going to solve using existing control authority.
Absolutely amazing! This guy is on the way to a memo from the Chief
Pilot's office fairly soon I would imagine.
Glad they made it out of there.


Coming out of Logan International one day the guy beside me must have
noticed the white knuckle grip on the arm rest, when he asked if I was
OK. I just replied, "Sometimes it's better not to know what's going
on"


I know the feeling and I know it well. It's a pilot thing, I think.
We're all control freaks.
