As someone who did a lot of commuter flying, they usually just say fuck it and try again if it's that bad

That fucker got so damned lucky. seriously.


but I've seen some badass fotage of badass boeing test pilots in worse crosswinds than that bringing down 777's, 747's and chit.....

Dude shouldn't have tried that approach....


And the Top Gun quote is.... "It's better to retire your aircraft than push a bad position."
