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.

Not me. Quicktime crashes every time I try to view one of Jay's
quicktime clips. The other media formats, however, work fine.

Not working here. At this and other sites, Quicktime either doesn't work
at all, or plays with weird audio that makes it worthless. Downloading
the newest version and reinstalling doesn't help.

Not I. Winamp just brings up a token and sits there.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Working for me....Never had a problem with any of his videos.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but I save the files to
disk then play them.

I have quicktime 6.5 and it has no problems with the files
I've downloaded.

George P, what file are you trying that's bringing up Winamp?
Sounds like you have some file extension association problems.

Sounds like my problem. No idea what it is, but I haven't found a
solution yet. The files actually download to my hard drive, but then
whey they attempt to run I get either the "broken" move strip icon or QT
simply causes a fault and crashes.

Are you using IE? I'm using Netscape. Maybe that makes a difference.
