This remarkable story by former RAAF Mirage pilot, Nick Ford, has a flight safety lesson for all pilots -airline and general aviation - in that it is all too easy to forget to lower your landing gear when various disconcerting factors build up to affect the pilot's train of thought at a critical time.
Nick Ford did a beautifully smooth wheels up landing on Melbourne Runway 34 into 30 knot plus head wind component. His story of this landing was published by the Queensland Air Museum.
