man that looks miserable to fly in a crosswind

For flight to a destination, it may be possible to use an altitude with a more favorable wind direction. For landing, the aircraft approaches a mooring mast from downwind.
Probably handles more like a hot air balloon than a fixed wing aircraft.*

* I have zero experience with any of this.
