Crosswind landing

Are these guys good or what??? http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...+landing+video Boeing 777 and 747SP Crosswind Landing Tests Video shows Boeing test pilots determining the demonstratedcrosswind landing limits on the 777 and the 747SP. The engineers make educated guesses, but then the test crews have to go actually prove the numbers. They sneak off to Brazil to do these tests at a certain remote BAF airbase famous for its continual atrocious crosswinds. PBS did a series on the development of the 777, at one point they showed the test pilots sitting around waiting for word of the right combination for max crosswinds; when word came in, they saddled up and headed there (don't remember where it was but it was stateside).
