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.Quote:

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.
