considering its an Airbus 380 IE: biggest passenger plane made, its easier to see that, but even in most cases the planes move 10-20 feet on take off and landing under low winds. ---

I think it was showing the capabilities for a xwind landing, that was a pretty textbook landing for a lighter plane, maybe just showing how it can handle? ---

that plane may never make it into circulation, thats the sad part. no airport wants to clear a plane like that to land since it has almost twice the required separation distance due to the cut it makes through the air. nothing like 560 tons to cause some turbulence. ---

There is an Airforce Base, in alaska thats like 5% of the heavy Pilots are allowed to land at, I believe its Eielson afb. there is a constant 30+ knot crosswind. They have to have special clearance to land there… ---
