For a minute, I thought they were trying to land at WIMAC! :D

ANd I thought that the big plane pilots had a boring job. Some pretty nice sideslips.

Amazing. My thoughts:
1. Seems like a few more of those pilots should have aborted and tried for a go around or an alternate airport.
2. A B747 can flap its wings.
3. There is a B777 in Boeing colors and a bunch of people beside the runway. I wonder if they were doing crosswind certification tests.
4. The landing gear on that last one (Dash 8?) sure has alot of travel.
