Crosswind rock and roll - Keystone Cops version

A day of 36 knot (41 mph) crosswind gusts makes for some hard landings and twisty take-offs. These shots are speeded up for fun, also to show a few things which are less noticeable at normal speed. Place: runway 33 at BHX, where the airport buildings reportedly can cause wind shear. Just to make things even more fun for the pilots, the ILS wasn't working so the non-directional beacon was used on approach.

Please don't think this video pokes fun at anyone - these guys do a brilliant job getting these things down whatever's thrown at them.

See videohttp://youtu.be/MIK1iObZxis for the normal speed version of selected shots.
