“Standard approach with a cross wind, crabbing in. It does look worse than it is.”

You beat me to it. I made many approaches that looked like that, but in a Beach Bonanza.
Yeah, he had that landing nailed if he had just crabbed for the touchdown. Maybe he was just practicing? Looked like a max climb out too?
Didn’t look like he made much of an attempt to straighten it out as he approached the touchdown? Two ways to land on cross wind approaches. Low wing or crab. If crabbing the plane has to be straightened out just before touchdown.
I used to fly into an airport (passenger on a jet) east of LA numerous times. The Santa Anna winds were scary. Come in at an angle like this all bumpy and getting tossed around, watching the wings jump all around, crazy. Then what seemed like 10 feet off the ground he would straighten it out, everything would be smooth for 10 seconds, and then touch down.
