Great skill and decision making by the pilots - have seen this at times (although not as windy) where the plane is about to hit the ground but lifts off again.

Was once on a small Eastern Airways charter in fairly bad winds, nothing like a wobbly approach in a small plane to shut up a plane full of blokes.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
