Sorry, you're right. He landed a C180 amphib on the water with the gear down.
Nice try Clunk. FWIW, I'm in the division that's kept current in simulators only for over 20 years. Sometimes those TC aircraft were the only way to get people out to see remote operators and for that they were a reasonable resource. But I think it's foolish to fly King Airs and Citations as a part time flying club just to stay current. It's also an inefficient use of tax dollars. Knowing what I know now about working in the gov't, I have no doubt that those checklists were another example of bureaucracy run amok. You should see what we go through to arrange travel and submit claims. Changing the constitution would be easier.
