The remains of Hurricane Gonzalo made landfall in Britain two days ago, producing vicious crosswinds and nasty weather at Manchester airport yesterday morning. This video clip shows aircraft from puddle-jumper commuters (ATR 72‘s and Dash 8‘s) to intercontinental widebodies (777‘s) and everything in between struggling to get down in the difficult conditions. I recommend watching it in full-screen mode for the best effect.
Glad I wasn’t flying there yesterday . . .

Manchester is rough in GOOD weather, pilots were earning their flight pay this day!!!
