Well it took me some time to figure out how to land the big heavies, keep it on glide slope and watch your speed, flare a bit when you are about 10 feet above the runway and cut your throttle.  I have found that the 747's will just about land themselves if you do that. Then the rest is up to the photographers lol Thanks Smurf and Mans  ;D
