flyboycoxy,

are you sure it was hit by a gust? I've only seen the footage once, on Ch9. There seemed to be a signifficant right rudder deflection just prior to landing. I don't recall noticing any comensurate yaw in the opposite direction.

If the wind was nominally westerly, I'd have expected to see left rudder on/approaching touchdown, to align with RWY16.
