We did nearly the same angle landing in Spokane, WA a few years ago. We came in at an angle and we watched out the window wondering what the pilot would do. A very smooth landing which we gave him great marks for!!

When we got off the plane we could hardly walk in the wind ourselves.

Had that happen landing in Tampa once. And landing there is bad enogh in good weather. It’s like you have to drop into a hole!

Got to experience a landing in Lubbock Texas on a Southwest 737. Plane got blown to the right so far that we were about to set down in the grass on two attempts. Third time was a charm. Pilot brought the plane down nose first and slammed the plane on to the runway. Overhead compartments flew open and all kinds of fun started with that.

Bottom line is a landing that you can walk away from is a good landing.
