Some footage from the ridiculous crosswinds at Birmingham Airport. The planes look like paper at some points.

I would be curious to watch video from a flight that ive experienced bad turbulence/landings on just to see if it looks anything like that. Do the people in there feel what im seeing is kinda what im trying to get across here haha

 

[Laughterbang]

Haha, that's nuts! I live near here and it's not renowned for being particularly windy

I've been on some crazy landings too, even saw video of one, it doesn't feel nearly as crazy as it looks though on video.

when i flew in to ambergris caye...an island off the coast of belize, we were in a 10-12 person puddle jumper prop plane...it was pretty windy and the plane basically came in to the dirt runway at a 45 degree angle...as in we were coming in straight, but the plane was tilted 45 degrees like we'd run right off the side of the runway....at the very last possible second the plane straightens out and we're on the ground.

gotta love retired cocaine smuggler pilots....

And many handshakes, high-fives, and fist-bumps were shared by pilot and co-pilot that day. A smooth as butter crosswind landing is the shit, no doubt.
