She held for around an hour. Did 2 low passes and it was confimed the gear wasn't fully engaging. Choosing the grass strip was interesting, but it prevented RWY damage and it reduced runway closure time. RWY 12/30 hasn't been used for 3 years and is in pretty ****ty shape from what I understand, hence it not being considered. Total time closed was around an hour I believe, but midfield departures on RWY 33 continued (Dash 8's) as the 210 was down near RWY 15. Most delays incurred were around 40 minutes.
