I'm not frightened of flying, but some of the pilots are frightening.

I'm guessing that was way more than a 30 mph wind.

Yeah you can see he's got it crabbed so much that the nose is actually pointing to the left of the camera.  Also you can see a lot of debris flying in the foreground.  Must have been a heck of a storm.

Heh.

In the opening credits it reads "Um grand susto," or A big scare/fright.

Around Christmas Portugal experienced a lot of wind storms, they even managed to destroy housing in some areas. But I don't know the exact details of this flight.

with a boeing the pilot can over-ride the computer,with a airbus the pilot cannot.

Hey Bob.. can we go around for a second pass.. that cross wind was too easy!  Figure the cross wind to be at least 50mph.. maybe more..  I wouldn't want to try it.... Unless I was paid well :D  Oh, and I had an ejection seat!!
