What a Shot!

Talk about the right place and time; one of the best pix I've seen in a long time.
Now, about the flying??? I know nothing of this AC type. I'm quit sure that a minimal 8Kt x-wind won't 'blow' the AC into this attitude unless the driver gives it a lot of help. Apparently the FO was PF. I'd guess that she had NO IDEA WTF she as doing. The report on this incident and well as the gear-up landing in Germany will make very interesting reading.
