Anyone here ever landed in such a strong crosswind?

This is a great video of 747 and 777 doing auto land certification
crosswind landings, the 3rd and 4th shot are the best. It takes a
minute to download and get through the credits but its worth it.

It is hard to believe that these "digital" touchdowns don't shear off
the main landing gear.

Watch the 777's wings flex during the third clip.

Any idea what the soundtrack is? I'd love to get a (legal) copy of that.

Enigma (2) - "Return to Innocence", from the "Cross of Changes" album


I could swear there is a free web site where you can upload a music file and
have it identify the song for you, but I can't find the link for it right
now. I guess I'll have to leave off the "here, you can do it yourself"
comment.

Yikes, those were some sick xwinds - I was expecting to see the clip at
Hong Kong's Kai Tak of the 747 landing and dragging the #4 engine in a
shower of sparks...

I can just imagine the conversation on the 777 flight deck - F/O: "The
wind's one-eight-zero at 25..." CPT: "Great! Ask if two-seven is
available and have 'em roll the the trucks..This oughta be good..."

Okay, I found it: www.musicbrainz.org

Though, as it turns out, that song doesn't appear to be in their database
(at least, my attempt to look it up failed). So it wouldn't have helped
anyway.

I found it on iTunes. Thanks!

Set up your computer to record "what u hear". When the movie starts, record
the sound.
