Here is a C17 landing at Christchurch yesterday in the middle of a Southerly change ( wind 150 degrees 15-25 gusting 38 Knots) coming back from the Antarctic. Cheers Barry

not knowing the runway heading there, i'm going to assume they've got a crosswind...
(hence your wind info) it was always a rush doing that in a C172, can't imagine doing it in a c17!!
