The aircraft is now for sale!

I read an ATSB report of a plane here in Australia that did a wheels-up approach. The Pilot figured out something was wrong when the wheels failed to make contact, and executed a go around. Only damage was a broken antenna on the bottom of the aircraft. Very very luck pilot.

Investigation: AO-2015-008 - Wheels-up approach and go-around involving PA-31-350, VH-TXK, at Townsville Airport, Queensland, 9 January 2015
