This is cool.
Depending on the type of aircraft, pilots may be required to apply a Wind Correction Angle (WCA) and “crab” the plane aligning nose and tail with the wind direction to counter the drifting effect of side winds during strong crosswind landings.
Whilst most of the planes “de-crab” once the main landing gear touches the ground (or shortly before), the U.S. Air Force iconic B-52 bomber was designed in such a way the landing gear can be set up to 20 degrees left to right of centerline for both takeoff and landing.
In this way, the Stratofortress can stay sideways even after touchdown.
This unique capability is shown in the following video, filmed by Fred Seggie at RAF Leuchars back in 2006 (some of you may have already seen it; still it is probably interesting for those who have never seen it).

Designed for a nuclear war which could have literally started at any minute. No telling what kind of weather one might have to operate in so best to be prepared. The B-1B had (has?) a button on the back of the nose gear that the pilot could hit on his way up the ladder that would start all four engines to get off the ground sooner. Today’s younger generation would have a difficult time coming to grips with how it was to live like that.
