or punch the wing gear through the top of the wing like the 747
Sorry mate, don't understand what you're trying to say. Wally Mk 2 points out that no attempt was made to put the upwind side of the aircraft on the ground first to help counter the effect of the crosswind, as "a technique used by every sized A/C at times". A380-800 Driver tells us this is not the case in the A380 and I agree it is not a technique used on the 747, thereby showing the technique is not "used by
every sized A/C at times" and that there was nothing wrong with the way the Oshkosh driver landed with his wings level.
If you're telling me that I am mistaken in my understanding of 747 crosswind landing techniques then let's not bog down this thread but start a Tech Log thread and ask along the other pilots with several thousand hours in them.
