Thanks Dick!! That’s a very entertaining video. Being a novice pilot i can say I’ve had to make that decision several times. Twice i could have been a star in that video.

A few of those look strangely familiar. My last one was at Albuquerque in 2001 with 45 gusting to 50 knots and not down either runway. Had to work for it but the back of the bus applauded after landing.

Increasing the vertical component of motion downward significantly reduces the forward component of ground rollout. or...........................................................................................
It's not the fall that gets you, it's the sudden stop.

Pretty much the same theory as falling out of a tree
