Think a little time in a Super Cub would help these guys out...?

Watch a B-52 do the crosswind shuffle with all those steerable tires.

I can't read the text - Portugese? - so I dunno what they're doing. Was it a demonstraded crosswind test, maybe? Or, is Boeing trying to see what the sideload is on the gear?
They weren't trying hard to straighten out before touchdown.
Hmmm... it does sortw remind me of Bill Rusk's short-field landing at New Holstein... Ya think?

The a/c in the video is one of Boeing's 777 certification mules. I think they are testing the autoland system. The computer is actually flying the a/c, even after the wheels touch.
Makes ya' feel kinda good that it will take that kind of punshment.
Lots of 777 folks could use some cub time, but the guys/gals in that thing have bigger ones than me if they can sit there and watch the airplane/computer do it in those conditions.
