It seems there was a very strong crosswind at Bilbao airport in Spain recently. (It’s near the Bay of Biscay, which is famous for its stormy weather during winter.) This video records a few attempts to land there, and one takeoff, during the strong winds. I’m very glad I wasn’t on board any of the aircraft concerned – much less trying to fly one of them!
That’s enough to make a pilot earn his pension the hard way . . .

Flippin' heck!
If I was a passenger on one of those planes I would definitely be hoping I wore my brown pants.
LOL, looks at LOT like Lajes in the Azores…
Yowza. Do they offer crowbar service to get the seat cushions back out of the passengers?
Scenes like this is why I avoid flying nowadays! Too many close calls for comfort…
That reminds me of watching the P3-C Orions landing on Adak, back in the day. I never envied them that experience!
First one appeared that the upper empennage portion was trying to become a Frisbee!
"How was your flight, Dear?"
"HOW THE #^%$^# do you THINK it was?"
