Something like 150mph cross winds, watch the video it's wild, plane is coming in near sideways...

Scary video indeed. I'm actually surprised the pilot didn't abort the landing sooner. Glad they made it out okay... :)

That's some SERIOUS right rudder going on there. My hat's off to the pilot for keeping the wheels under him. That coulda been REALLY ugly.

Of course he shoulda known that was gonna happen ith 30deg of sideslip.
