Thanks guys for the replies. I seem to remember that it was shown to us in some sort of performance Groundschool, to visually hammer home the effect of tailwind on takeoff and landing distances required. It may have been as a result I that Delta incident above but I thought it pre-dated that...

So more performance planning than dealing with an unexpected weather change.

And I'm all good for exciting crosswind videos thanks 👍
