There was also a case in Shannon in 1999 where the L188 touched down without the gear, bent three props before initiating a go-around and did a circuit to land on 1.5 engines. A P3C pilot I spoke with later felt this was an impossible feat but the guys pulled it off. The aircraft never flew again and was scrapped in Shannon a few years later.
