I have a question concerning crosswind with such an airplane.
If, for example, you had a 50 kt. crosswind and the airplane would touchdown at 120 kt., would the relative angle of the wind be the angle between those vectors? In this case, 22 degrees?
Could you land a B-52 in a 50 kt. crosswind by holding it in a 22 degree crab?
I understand the risks of such an approach if the crosswind is not steady (and it never is), so the actual limit might be somewhat lower.
