We've seen some of these already...
Watch toward the middle, there's a 747 flapping its wings like an Albatross!

The gear aligns itself with the runway (or so I have been told by a few instructors)

Great footage, the 777 crosswind landings during certification is classic footage, the way all those guys run out to get photos. Welly sets itself up nicely for this sort of video, that dash 8 at the end is wonderful!
