Extreme crosswind landings!

Absolutely, positively mute your speakers before you start this clip.

And then marvel in the sideways nuttiness. I particularly like the 747 landings—they had to be built with castering main wheels because the low-hanging outside engines precluded the extreme bank angles needed to land straight in severe crosswinds. Most of the two-engine planes, in contrast, have to straighten their sideways tacks before then can actually put the wheels on the ground.

That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
