Checkers .. then I was probably a naughty boy.

However, I can't recall seeing anyone else at AN impacting with intentional drift. The recommendations will be for heavily compressed oleos which is a very conservative viewpoint. I can't recall any landing with significant crosswind which involved thumping the bird onto the ground - on the contrary, crosswind landings tended to be rather pleasant.

I can't recall what would have been the max crosswind I ever landed the 737 but certainly at or above 25kt ?

A few at 30kt in the Electra but that was a pussycat to put on the ground ... as to Cooma and King Island on the Mouse .. let's not admit to what might have gone on there ...
