Nice, capturing the gear retraction sequence including door close. The varied viewing spots and close-ups are cool. Thanks for shooting in such weather. Awesome vid!
I don't think that was a very good landing. From what I've seen in cross wind situations the pilot fly's the plane with the nose pointing into the wind but with the controls setting the plane to go, in this case, down the center line of the runway, a sort of side slip then at the last moment turns the nose to point down the runway to make a stress-lite loading on the landing gear. This didn't happen here.
What a crooked runway for a country that has a lot of money and big mouths 👄 and loud voices, and can't fixed the runway problem. I can see from NZ that the poor pilots tried to handle the aircraft steady in landing. All aircraft go sideways in touching down the runway trying to make everything safe.
