Passed Edwards AFB in September! Thought about you & your adventures
You should see what we used to do to land in heavy crosswinds on short runways & using centrifugal force.https://twitter.com/wizbee1/status/948037440908025857 …

General, I would love to hear you expound on this tweet. Land diagonal to minimize xwind component? Any other trick?
-
Suppose your Xwind is fr/the right. Land w/ the right wing down first (on one tire). Then, the left wing & tire. Keep it on the centerline. Pull yoke back full aft for max breaking. Also, turn ailerons into wind. Slow w/ brakes as necessary (that's for tricycle gear AC).

Sort of off subject, but I watched The Right Stuff again the other night, & was even more enthralled than I was the first time I saw it! You are our country’s hero, and mine! Thank you for all your contributions!
