Yes, sorta (you ask great Q's) 👍
But +/- lift increases (roughly) with V^2 (L = Cl * A * .5 * r * V^2). So 1,000 kph (cruise) aero forces ≈ 100X crosswind of 100 kph.
But landing at 200 kph in a 100 kph crosswind? That's when a little light comes on above your seat flashing: "Clutch Cargo" 😬

(Having flashbacks to the time my, now-ex for many reasons, friend was on a plane with me and there was a storm at the destination, so, turbulence & a crosswind landing, and she kept insisting on fucking shrieking directly in my ear about the ENTIRELY NORMAL AND FINE way that was going)

Cheers Chief. This is right up your aero alley. I ain't gonna argue with ya 'bout this stuff.
Teck question though,
With a crosswind the onside will be pressurised @ X Degs to the aero, and offside will have a vacuum on a similar angle. My gut feeling is that messes BIG time with downforce. True?

Flights at Dublin topping our most tracked list thanks to poor weather and winds from the south. Plenty of go arounds and a few diversions this afternoon. www.flightradar24.com/airport/dub

For over 15 years, leaders in Morris recognized the need for a crosswind runway, but our state went too long without a plan to expand infrastructure.
That all changed when the General Assembly and I passed Rebuild Illinois — and today, we're here to celebrate its construction.

Second gig of the day is a small street party on a force 9 crosswind.
This cannot end well.

14 gusting 20 headwind suddenly turning to a direct crosswind is not fun!

Conditions were 200 yards, 20 to 30 ft. vantage, sun at the shooter's back, minimal crosswind, with a scope.
I'd buy it was a purposeful neck shot or a head shot that drifted down, but I would have assumed the practical sure-shot would be centre of mass.
Shooter wanted a spectacle kill.

Thank you! I keep seeing this “professional hit man” bullshit and it’s just conspiracy fuel. I’ve shot a pig at 275 yards with a 25 mile an hour crosswind and I’m not even the best shot I know. I’m probably friends with 2 dozen people capable of pulling off something like that. People need to chill.

At the Provo airport it was light and variable (see screenshot).
520 feet, but into a light crosswind.

Morning #TeaUp on the balcony with a book and hot cross buns.
Yes, they are unseasonal but I defrosted the freezer yesterday and decided to leave them out. Now there's room for mince pies 😆

Norris breaking the track record with a crosswind-induced error in sector 2 is somewhat wild.

To be fair, it's NOT related to Musk gutting the FAA. They were under Canadian air traffic control. Toronto airport has really bad conditions right now to land in for any pilot. This pilot tried landing in a hard crosswind in a blizzard (not sure why). Only 8 injured, no deaths.

For real though I've almost gotten blown over sideways going down Signal Hill just from the force of the wind on my non-aero wheels I sincerely do not understand how this doesn't turn into a big fucking sail in any appreciable amount of crosswind

One time we were headed in to a slip in San Diego. We had to turn the boat 180º in narrow conditions and a crosswind came up suddenly. I came *this close* to ending up with a broken leg preventing a collision.
