it has a crosswind crab system that allows it to crab the gear. so it can land with high crosswinds. nose can be pointed 30 degrees left and land straight on gear its really something to experiance in flight

Found a kewl video of a B-52 crabbing on landing..

Note that it seems to use the same steep angle of approach, despite their being NOTHING around the airstrip...unlike the pic from Las Vegas..is this a normal angle-of-attack for landing?
