Very good shots on CNN today of a light twin executing a gear up landing at, I think, de Kalb Georgia. Very little damage. All aboard were able to run away. Aircraft remained on centreline all the way.

Left it up in error or because of a problem?

Unlikely a news crew and microwave van would just happen to be at KPDK when some poor soul forgets the Dunlops. Heard the predicament on a scanner no doubt and rushed there in the hope of some 'tasty' footage.

Problem I think. Pix were broadcast quality.
Hi there troops! :)
I believe the above mentioned "gear up" was the same as the one I saw on the local news here in Central Florida. Are ya sure it was in Georgia? Anyways, if it is the same incident then the film was taken from an aerial camera on another aircraft and good footage it was too - right next to the runway running alongside!
Tarrah for now,
VFE. :cool:
