not a lot of rudder displacements. Portugal must be one wild place to fly...

It is. And because of that, airliners.net takes photoshopped pictures very seriously.

This is not one of them (other than the usual brightness/contrast, sharpening, etc.).

Just another one of our colleagues botching a crosswind landing or pushing the envelope.

Someone took a picture of my landing yesterday! The voice recorder included "Hold my beer, watch this" just priorto touchdown... No wind check needed, all pure manliness.

At least he had a wet runway to soften the blow....

I still think it's a fake. No aileron/rudder correction whatsoever with a bank angle that close to the runway? You would be able to see a VERY deflected upwing aileron plus roll spoilers, and at least a little rudder...

This bump is in honor of 80 Knots Clamp.

A bumper.

YouTube - Terrible crosswind landing-nearly crashed

A London City landing gone wrong, or a crash gone right, who knows, but what we can all agree on is if he had asked for a wind check none of this would've happened.

Ah, my regional days.

My philosophy in flying is that you'll never have an upset passenger if you make sure they are just happy (and surprised) to be alive on arrival.
