I've seen some of those...Those jets weigh tons and yet the wind tosses them around as if they're made of styrofoam...

IV seen worse there is a vid somewhere on the net of a 747 landing in gets nearly down. Gets a huge freak gust of wind Lands very hard skids sideways when its down.  Two tires on the left hand landing gear blew out in the landing! I cant remember where it happened but it closed the runway for a couple of hours so they could fix the gouges in it.

i would really hate to be in a plane and have something like that in those videos happen. no refrase - the people in front of me would hate it  :P lol.

A good illustration of the fact that no matter how big an airplane is, it's the air that's holding it up, and the air is not always cooperative.

I think a lot of the roll oscillation seen there is more from minor overcontrolling than from turbulence... these big rig drivers don't get to do a lot of stick 'n' rudder flying in the real world.

That 747 landing at Kai Tak (near the end) is just masterful, though! That pilot must have a Cub at home...
