“every one on the news is freaking out about this video. I don’t know why. Crabbing a landing - regardless of the plane’s size - is a basic flight skill.”
What I thought. Our one runway airport was not well aligned with the prevailing winds. I had to do this all the time with a Cessna 152 that got blown around like tissue paper.
Years ago I took a ride on an 18 passenger twin turbo prop from Newark to Ithica/Utica NY in a snowstorm.
It was an hour long roller coaster ride. Up down, up down, left right and on and on. People were puking and people were praying.
