Good landing. Got it straight at touch down and landed in the middle of the runway. Not an easy landing in high cross winds.

That’s called “crabbing” into the wind. That’s not flying sideways.

#11 that is pretty neat but how did the pilot or “hacker” make the airplane disappear at the end?..... : )

That’s just landing into a crosswind. What this guy is talking about is telling one engine to climb, while the other one wasn’t. That would rotate the plane around its long axis, basically flipping the plane sideways.

I want that pilot if I ever fly again. Been on that landing a couple times before too.

Now that .... that is a cross-wind landing as done by an expert. I would hazard a guess that the pilot is a former Naval flier accustomed to catching the first wire. Not exactly the passenger-comfort-oriented method, but it sure do get the job done.

Something doesn’t look right about that gif. The wheels are really out of round right before touching down.
