Amazing footage from YouTuber Tepfelya showed a 26-year-old Boeing 747-4H6 airliner landing in a crosswind.
The airliner was coming into land in tough conditions, as shown by how sideways the old aircraft was going.
Despite the tough conditions, the pilot shows off some brilliant skills as the 747, weighing in at 393,263lbs (178,541 kg) empty, touches down quite gently.
There was a bit of a wobble before it straightened out, coming to a steady stop towards the end of the runway.
