No landing gear, no fire & no injuries.

Please don't tell me if this is a pearoast. I'd rather live in blissful ignorance wink

Top Skills. With all that weight in the cockpit a safe landing would have been an acheivement even with the gear not u/s.

I guess that's why they call it a belly landing.

Fair play to him! We had to land one of our Citations with the nose wheel up last year. Having all the gear up is a different kettle of fish though! Good job that man!
