almost certainly with the wheels up as well.
Seems to be a common misconception....

The normal gear extension on 747's is mechanical + hydraulic. Definitely no gear up landing.

There are steel cables running from the gear lever to the wheel well. Moving these operates hydraulic valves for normal gear extension.
