These guys need a flying lesson badly!!!

This video is amazingly ugly to any pilot who knows how to properly land an airplane. It doesn't matter if it's a Piper Cub, a B747, or, in this case, an AirBus 380. You DON"T touch down in a crab while making a crosswind landing. It is very hard on the landing gear and could potentially put you off the runway.

This from the air show in Oshkosh, WI.

I always hated crosswind landings. All that keeping the wingtip low, correcting the yaw while trying to get a feel for the flare.... of course, I probably shouldn't have been up anyway (lol).

I flew into Maine one time on a small twin prop and just at the last few feet we hit crosswinds and our tail went out what felt like 45 degrees and the pilot managed to correct before landing. That was my scariest plane ride ever. I choose bigger aircraft every chance I get now.
