Post here if you find any!

I found these two over the past couple of days, with the Dusseldorf one being shown on SMH.

Typical day in Wellington? Love the first landing (NZ 733) that does a touch & go due to a strong downward gust that almost shoves it into the runway.... *eek*

PS... why can I only have one video per post now?

Awesome......I'd be packing it if I were in one of the turboprops!
 
Here's my own windy Wellington video, not as windy as some of these other videos but a few wobbly landings.

I think these do the rounds pretty often with the mainstream papers/tv in Australia.. I personally think the crosswind landings look great, and I'm not sure you'd notice it as much from inside the plane until the last turn when they straighten her up and put her wheels down, one at a time :)
