I still have my tram license.
A tiny snip from one of my favourite Australian movies, 'Stone' 1974.
Full movie (NSFW) can be found on YouTube.
Remind me never to fly into that airport.
When landing in a crosswind with passengers, the game is to face the wind on descent, touch down on 1 gear, and pivot to align with the runway, before the 2nd gear touches. 3rd gear (nose) touches down last.

Ahh... well, you see ... 1933 ... that was during the depression, before satellites, before pearl harbor, before more sea level rise, before many more volcanic releases, before many telescopes were built, before much more tourism, it's become a state, it's seen a few flashes of radiation. I dunno but with all that, I'd say there's enough reasons to keep a lower profile today.
While on the subject, here's Hawaii surfing as shot by Thomas Edison in 1906.

I hate to say, but I often find the videos I find on YouTube aren't real or are lightly based on real events. If this one is true, it is a great story. If not, I guess I got scammed. . .
For a pilot, landing always involves the same basic maneouvers, but when the wind is stronger and at a bigger angle, so are the inputs. It makes for a more spectacular sight from outside the plane. It's about weather of course and indirectly, location.

I made this motor, nothing to do with the airframe.
1000 lbs thrust for 14 seconds.
”Motor worked"
My point:
Volcano energy is leftover from those rock collisions (kinetic energy) that built the Earth 4.5B years ago.
Manufacturer call this an electric VTOL aircraft.
I call it a big drone with the controls onboard instead of remote.
Cool nonetheless. Probably a lot of red tape to legally fly this in an air corridor.
