The B-52 had landing gear that could counteract the cross-wind by swiveling 20 degrees on landing.
My last time into Albany it felt like we hit a huge pothole. After coming around, the pilot announced there was bad wind shear, and they were going to try it again. It was still a rough landing, but we were fine. December of 2010 there was a bad snow storm, and all kinds of stuff was canceled. I think my flight was the first to land at MSN in twelve hours. I remember looking out my window and down the runway we were landing on. That was a new experience. It was a superb landing.
That 747 at Kansai is one of my favorites. balls. My father will happily tell the story of the time he and his flight instructor decided the crosswinds in Amarillo were such that they were going to divert, but then they got to listening on the radio, and they saw another instructor with a more advanced pilot, and then they circled overhead as the dude landed a Cessna 172 on the runway by coming at it perpendicular, feathering, cutting the engine and drifting in to land 90 degrees off of the stripes. Here's a Mooney landing at Courchevel because it's Courchevel.
