Boeing 747 & 777 autoland in crosswind certification video - impressive!

Anyone here ever landed in such a strong crosswind?
Found this posted to another group.


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.

My instructor when I was getting my private told me he made a complete
rudder deflection landing in a C172 once, glad I wasn't with him. Said he
had so much aileron in the thing that the windside wing was only a few feet
off the runway.
