How do you land a Microlight in a 40kt crosswind?

Here's how Wink

I lost some of the quality in uploading but you get the idea. I don't think this has been done before and it's pretty funny and tricky to do.

You don't land correctly though and you would not be able to stop.

Same again with a 737 and a 170kt crosswind. Unsurprisingly, the 737 is a lot trickier.

It's just a bit of fun.

THat is not how you would land in a crosswind though. You come in straight but to a side.

Try it with a 170kt crosswind and see if your method works Wink
