I didn't think they would but also wasn't sure. I know about how rare, and know in adverse runway conditions you plant firmly and of course bring the nose down faster and more firm, but I didn't know Autoland did that by default. I heard someone mention on their to do list comment about "having to check out some systems for the FAA so we can be approved for more air tests" made me think maybe they had to test it earlier. Kudos to him, that was indeed very smooth, I still can't land a single engine plane that smooth :(, well not without a couple belts first.

What an amazing bird is that!Sorry Airbus lovers but the Frenchman will never be able to bull such a beauty in the sky...Now I know PMDG drill - First 737NG - then Dash-8 - and for Christmas 2010 (together with the first delivery) comes a PMDG Dreamliner :(

:( Applause to Boeing for the aircraft and for the Webcast, I even watched the press conference !!The only negative point, imho, is how they switched the camera just a second before rotation, they changed from a lateral view to a front view and we then saw the plane coming up a hill, but we really missed that critical moment.I also missed that image of old days first flights with pilots wearing coveralls, helmets and parachutes.
