It'd be one thing if it were just one landing, but I've seen several come in back to back in DTW and do it all the same. So whats that old saying, if a plane makes a bad landing the pilot sucks and if it makes a great landing then that plane is awesome.
You get 3 separate landings on the 330, aft/main trucks and nose...no wing low or it really gets ugly and remember its not bank angle, but rather roll rate...if the pilot compensates for the gust, you get into a PIO.
