Interesting that the pic shows the Left Main Gear is extended on the Piper Saratoga ... I wonder if it had problems?
Turns out the Piper was N71MC, which is a PA-32R - the "R" indicating that it was a retractable gear Lance. So the extended landing gear is a puzzle, yes.
The gear is held in the 'up' position hydraulically by a hydraulic power pack . With the right wing seperated and the hydraulic lines now open , the remaining legs are free to come out of their bays and extend due to gravity/gyroscopic forces .
Having taken that helicopter trip in the past , the photo's are truely frightening....very tragic .
