With wind speeds gusting between 120km/h and 150km/h yesterday, we have to take our hats off to this Ryanair pilot who was forced to land the plane sideways.

The video below features a Ryanair flight landing in Bristol Airport that was forced to approach the runway using a sideslip manoeuvre due to the high crosswinds.
It just goes to show how ballsy you have to be to be an airline pilot…
