There’s nothing as impressive as this pilot, who managed to make one of the hardest landings of all time look easy when he landed an Airbus A380 nearly sideways during a storm.
The video captures a textbook ‘crab’ technique, which is nose into the wind while the plane remains aligned with the runway center-line despite sideways force.
It all went down during Storm Dennis in February 2020, when winds were hammering airplanes right across the UK.
Check out this wild reminder above of why pilots train for the unexpected and why the A380 remains a beast under pressure.
