If you thought turbulent flights were bad, these are far worse... i've been on flights where the turbulence was so bad that the over head compartments popped open and in flights where the pilot screwed up the landing and slammed into the ground, but these cross wind things look pretty scary.

Being a pilot is 99% utter boredom and 1% pure terror.

That 2nd video is ridiculous.

Landing a plane that size on a runway that small with an approach that difficult.
