Aeroclub staff say a pilot who landed his light plane at the Launceston airport in northern Tasmania this afternoon, without the front landing gear, executed an almost perfect touchdown.
Experienced pilot Charles Booth was flying his single-engine plane from George Town to Launceston when he realised the landing gear was faulty shortly before midday.
When it could not be fixed, Mr Booth landed the plane about 2pm AEDT, using the aircraft's undercarriage and two rear wheels.
He was not injured in the incident.

Sounds like a worthy effort!
