Airplane is designed to do this, for an airplane that size he did exactly the right thing, coulda been a bit earlier kicking it straight but it’s a strong crosswind, the trucks are built for it and it was short sideload duration.

You don’t land on the upwind wheels in an airplane that size, you’ll break the gear.

Youtube is replete with crosswind landings from Germany. The flying pilot did a great job...he could only log one landing;-)

In my bird I always forward slip in crosswinds. Mooney gear is akin to a Jeep.

The neat videos are of B-52s doing this, since their trucks are designed to turn to stay even with the runway even if the fuselage starts being pushed diagonally.

IIRC the B-52's crosswind landing gear was classified for a while after they first entered service.

What you said makes no sense to me. At the end you the touch is the same whether you slipped in or crabbed in. The only difference is how you got there. The results are the same. I would argue there is less pressure on the main wheels in a slip.
