agree pj2 sorry i was posting as you did
the landing gear is still down at impact.
just my own obs below...
whatever event(s) that caused the extremely high AOA bringing on the subsequent stall would likely to have occurred very soon after leaving the ground giving no time for the crew to make the normal timely retraction of the gear after a pos rate of climb call.
by impact point the gear would have normally started to clearly retract had everything been OK straight after leaving the ground...
yes/no?
the other scenario for gear down still was planning for cooling the brakes of course
edit pj2 posted same as me above
