Perfect:

The television presentation of President Xi Jinping’s Air China B747 landing at Washington was worth watching. The film segment was a wide angle side view that concentrated on the actual touchdown. It started as the aircraft crossed the threshold and the picture then centred on the main landing gear which was rock solid during the float with the rear bogies only inches above the concrete. The two then kissed and the forward bogies came down gently. The nose wheel was then smoothly lowered onto the centre of the centre line. Nice to watch something done so well. It had the appearance of both skill and feel ……… Perfect.

I agree, that's a great description of the the American made B747. It's only fitting that it's the only plane China trusts and uses to transport their President.
