Folks,
Actually DCA and descendants have a long history of gear up landing.
As I recall, the NSW Region C-310 had just been rebuilt after a gear up problem, flew to an airshow ( was it Lismore??) with anybody who was anybody at Balls Head Rd, and landed gear up.
One of the Gulfstream 1000 ( Turbo Commander 695) was gutz'd twice, in WA from memory. The famous Merlin incident at Mangalore, the gear was down, but only partly after a very heavy landing.
Probably a few more I have missed, Dove at Camden??
Tootle pip!!
