A little L goes a long way.
Nice! I wonder if those are all test flights...
I don't know of too many aircraft that can land in crab angles such as those on a day-to-day basis without doing major damage to the landing gear....
I've seen this before, and yes, they are all test flights - if you noticed, the aircraft are all in Boeing house colors. Probably testing max crosswind component landing specs.Originally Posted by USAF Pilot 07

you hit it right on the nose there moose.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

Yea I figured with them being all painted in Boeing colors and all it was for this reason...
The only aircraft I know of off hand that can really land in a crab is the BUFF. They move their wheels so that they are aligned straight down the runway, and then land in a crab. Pretty crazy!
That's always been on of my favorite aviation videos ever.
