Touchdown! umm..wait a sec...

Landings at Dusseldorf. The technique is called crabbing, but I can think of other four-letter words that might describe it.

UGH! I hate flying.

The whole experience has certainly lost its charm, but having to wonder if you're going to die in the next ten minutes does give it a certain piquancy.

Some of them look like Thunderbirds Are Go! airplanes. :-)

And they all looked like they were coming in on a hover! Neat.

I thought that about the hover, too. I have done a crab landing or two in a cessna 150, and it scared me. If I had been on those planes, I'd have been whimpering under a blanket.
