QotM
====

After landing on a windy day, you clear the runway and taxi with a strong
wind from your right rear quarter. The airplane suddenly feels light on
the upwind wing. Which control inputs help, and why does this matter after
the landing is "over"?


Scenario
========

It's a short flight on a clear morning, departing just before sunrise, one
of those mornings where things are running well and the tower controller
has time to banter on the radio. The only other traffic is an airplane on
approach to a nearby airport-or so everyone thought. Now it's dead ahead
and landing.
