November 29, 200520 yr Great footage here of several Boeing test planes doing severe crosswind landings. Check it out! Watch how much the pilot is having to work the rudder in the very last landing. :( http://www.nickwhittome.com/blogstuff/post...deos/pousos.wmvBest,Owen *****<br>J.

November 30, 200520 yr Thanks, great stuff. If I remember correctly,the early ERCOUPE, had swivel wheels on the landing gear.Along with no rudder pedals,You could have your nose into the wind all the way to touchdown,with no kick out,and slow to a stop ,sideways.Some things just get worse.Progress!
