Crosswind Landing Testing

Let's not just give all credits to the pilots. I think the real heroes here are the thousands of engineers and workers who designed and built these planes!

the drum beat in this song copies the John Bonham drumbeat of "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin

oooohhh...uuummmm...implausibl e shit in the sim ? ummm.......ur not a comm pilot  , are you sunshine ? ( let alone a checkpilot ? )

lol, thats ok , u just keep on thinkin whatever you like to thunk.

Looks like the standard Boeing test facility at Groom Lake ( ? ) to me . Also note that these aircraft are not , strictly speaking in full pax config re all up weight ! ( close tho mebbe )

And you are DAMNED right about the pilots and engineers.....these guys are not HALF GOOD HUH ?




2 months pay in 5 minutes ? Amen !

1:59 is just ridiculous looking. Very impressive landings. :-D

my thing is though, how the hell do you know where your back gear is in relation to the runway when you're sideways? Also, what's the deal with the wheels looking diagonal?

@wompasdub
You know from practice.
The main gear are angled vertically to allow only one set of wheels to touch first. Usually the back 2 but the 767 has the front 2 touch first. No idea why the diff.

Anyone know which landing strip is this?

Edwards AFB,
not Brazil as claimed

Thats what I thought. Brazil just didn't seem right. Thanks for the reply!
