Incredible footage shows the moment the pilot of an Airbus A380 managed a super challenging takeoff during wild crosswinds.
The Airbus was taking off from Birmingham Airport in the UK when it encountered some pretty brutal weather.
In the video, which was filmed and shared on the Topfelya YouTube channel, the wings of the plane appear to be waving around due to the strong winds.
However, the pilot of the plane simply used it as an opportunity to show off his skills, and effortlessly took the plane from the runway to the sky.
