guess too many are too young to know or care about non-jet commercial aircraft like th DC-3. First flight 1936 and many are STILL in commerical service in the Caribbean and South America. Last trip to Porta Rico we saw 6-8 DC-3s lined up on the ramp.

BRAVO WhiteKnight77: It was 1955, back when Boeing Stratocruisers, Lockheed Constellations, and Douglas DC-6s had sleeping accommodations for transatlantic passengers. see https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/when-airplanes-had-beds-125048102/ Hey, passengers would board in suits and business dress too.

it's a well executed crosswind landing -- but in rather constant crosswind. The industry comments 'this is not what we want to see', as it's STILL a high risk landing; just consider the consequences of a more highly variable condition. It's at least another go-around, wait for better conditions and start planning for the alternate.
