Yes, that tweet (from 3 days ago) is the one referred to in posts #13 and #25.

This and other comments remind me of a so-called fake picture showing a SATA A310 (or A300) during a crosswind landing a couple of years ago. The prune experts had already proven this picture to be fake, when the actual photographer signed up here at pprune. The picture being debated I believe was first posted on airliners.net. The photographer posted a series of pictures of the crosswind landing which ultimately proved the fake picture statement to be a fake statement.

I don't see any evidence that this is fake (CGI and CFD background here with analysis of flow patterns of aircraft in ground effect).
This is a cellphone video with very high compression, but to me the finish on the aircraft looks right, underside has correct lighting, windows are unusual but that's the way they are on a Gulfstream, pilot not blind this is South America, tarmac crew not blind but fully aware, flag does what's it supposed to be the downwash in ground effect would push the air sideways from the centerline which is the direction the flag was already going (and besides there is a huge cardboard that gets blown out from the truck in the correct direction).
The reaction from the guys on the ground is consistent with what's happening, if a tad nonchalant (must not be the first time).
The sound is completely realistic - engine sound, gust sound.
Finally from that position there is 4800 ft runway remaining which is plenty for a G550.
Everything in this video indicates that it is real, I don't see any red flag besides the one that is on the truck.

And on that occasion, to be fair, the doubters did at least apologise with good grace:

It's Breeeeeeezy

Looks real to me! :ok:

If it is fake, someone went to a lot of trouble, for what? Though I'd have to give the actors top marks for the way they underplayed their reactions:O

Thanks for posting the link, but :mad: 10 years ago? :uhoh:

Yes, it would be the first time that someone creates and publishes a fake video(or picture) just to get clicks. ;-)

It's not my fault if you can't remember how long ago it was. :O

But if you can find a more recent picture of a SATA A310 making a spectacular crosswind landing on airliners.net that's the subject of a thread on PPRUNe, then I'll stand corrected.

Personally, I didn't doubt the video at all. After all, I was guilty of the same/similar thing in the past, particularly at Taif. When doing localizer checks I got fed up with packing up my box of tricks and leaving the runway when an aircraft approached. More than once, I remained standing at the threshold with an inbound L1011 going over my head. And I was never blown away either.
