Reply to comment by Senna_65 in TIL: Airplanes take off and land into the wind. They takeoff into the wind to reduce the groundspeed required to lift and land into it to reduce groundspeed when landing. by Key-Code-4296

They're still landing into the wind, just not parallel to the runway.

This is why aircraft carriers turn into the wind when launching or landing aircraft.

If a car T-Bones the side of your car, do you say you ran into the other car? Cross wind can be at a 90° angle to the runway heading.
