The B-52 pilot could 'dial-in' how much crosswind there was and he could crab all the way to the ground.

Is it still called crabby when you are at a very steep angle? Not parallel to the ground but angled?
anyway not sure the exact type of plane cessna for sure only that it's Sierra Tango call sign. The Sierra Kilo that he usually uses was busy. The tango has some niffty GPS hardware.
Cessna 172? maybe, I schedule the flights online so I should know this but I don't pay better attention.
