Sheesh!
Is this the recommended x-wind landing technique? They didn't seem to make any attempt to kick 'em straight - perhaps this was a test of sideways loads on the gear?
I've seen similar x-wind techniques at BK, in a 152

Awesome video on the venerable B777!!
Was watching video with a mate, and he commented on the main gear on the B777 being aligned with the runway, when the rest of the aircraft is not?!
I mentioned that I thought the B747 body gear did this, but that I was unsure about the B777.
Anyone have any idea?

777 main gear and 747 body gear have no ability to do anything but stay inline with the longitudinal axis always.
On the ground the rear wheel pair on the 777-300 will turn but thats all.

Um, no.
The entire body gear on the 747 turn in the opposite direction to the nose gear, when on the ground.
I can't remember the figures off the top of my head but they start at about 10° nosewheel steering and move at about 10% as much as the nosewheel.
