Cool landing and great shot !

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Nice shot. The DC-8 actually has a crosswind main gear to prevent those pesky nacelle strikes with crosswinds. Just hold the crab all the way down to the runway, and on touchdown the gear would pivot to align with the direction of travel. At least the real ones did that, don't know if it is represented in the sim.
