Damn that plane is angled. And the go-around could have come a tad earlier than a few meters, couldn't it?

He looks to be pretty well lined up until the flare. He either gets hit by a gust or he underestimated the drift as he slowed down during the flare. I don't think this pilot is used to do heavy cross wind landings, because the upwind wing is high. You should always 'lean' into the wind during the flare.
 
:blink: WTF just happened?

That's awesome! That should totally have been one of the slingload missions in FSX! :lol:

Of course, NASA/JPL probably be like "Pfffft. Call us when you've done a slingload delivery of a rover. Using rockets. On Mars."
