24G26 45 degrees off runway heading was a little too much for this student pilot and his instructor. No serious injuries, but one person was taken to the hospital to be checked out, and the other occupant refused. I bet I know who refused...
I don't know what the runway conditions were; the photos are from the local newspaper. Based on past history, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't perfectly dry though.
All the more reason when landing with a stiff Xwind, to touch down on the windward side of the runway and let the wind blow you to the center, and then the far side, if the landing gets real "western"..:wink2:
