Dont think it really was wind... Do you?

Post by Chris Sykes »

Spotted this on the BBC website, doesnt look like wind to me... More pilot error and too much heavy footed on the brakes...

Looks more like the pilot was trying not to let a wind pass, and thus pushing the brakes a bit too hard in the process. :think: :fart:

It looked awfully fast to me , and there were the obvious beginnings of a ground loop just before someone stabbed the brakes really hard
