Quite an impressive x-wind landing by a widebody; wind must have been strong..

LOL 😀 Fair enough ;).
Can tell your not a big fan of LBA in bad conditions (Or good!), good job your not flying in there tonight. ;).

Couldn’t possibly comment!

I was referring to Moondances comment….
‘West Yorkshire International Airport’ ;).
I can read comments underneath pictures! The day we get a KLM MD11 would be quite something ;).

That was the polderbaan (18R) at Schiphol.

Those sort of landings are probably second nature to an experienced flight crew
True enough, but an approach onto the 6000ft rollercoaster of a runway that is West Yorkshire International Airport with the standard 30kt crosswind can be a sphincter clenching experience.
Actually a widebody in a crosswind tends to a far better ride than lighter aircraft. The sheer mass and inertia makes the machine less affected by the gusty conditions…still an impressive pic though.

Excellent!
Just seen a great photo of a Ryanair 737-800 departing Stockholm and being blown everywhere by winds on Airliners.net.
