As the footage shows, courageous regional pilots from around Europe including Britain, Ireland, and Belgium, seriously struggled to land in the strong winds, often swaying heavily as they made their descent and sometimes touching down one wheel before the other.

No doubt the bumpy ride would leave even the most seasoned travelers on the edge of their seat.
