Snoop A simple 744 question

I recall reading this info many moons ago and cannot recall it accurately.

At touchdown, the pilot's seat is ?? feet forward of the wing gear units (that, I believe touch first) and ?? feet above the tarmac?

Many thanks.

For the pilots eyeline, I think it's about 89' in front of the main wheels and I'd guess about 45' or so above the ground at touchdown.

Ah, thanks for that. It does give an interesting meaning to the phrase 'situational awareness'!!
