"Another fun thing is flying into airports with parallel runways, like Lambert in St Louis. There are occasional cases of planes landing on the wrong runway!"

Like this near mistake?

Or this one?

Those really weren’t “mistakes,” just pilots dealing with very heavy cross-winds.

One of the classified secrets of the B52 bomber was the fact that the main landing gear was able to skew 20 degrees left and right, in effect allowing the plane to “be pointed” off to one side, while the plane was moving straight down the runway.

Just damn!! Those pilots must have been sweating bullets all the way down!! You could tell by the banking they were doing that they were trying hard to get that beast under control. It looked for all the world, in that first video, like they were heading directly for the water. He must have put some power into his yaw to the left at that point, because he was burning rubber during his braking as he landed.
