Unhappy Plane circling with unlocked gear

If anyone wants to watch, a small plane is circling in California to burn fuel because its landing gear isn't locked. Click on "live video" on www.abcnews.com

Watched this as happened, good job by the pilot, don't agree with the commentator who sai the A/C will probably be written off, Just renew some skinning and sort out the gear, I don't think he even dinged the prop- a non event at the end of it- as it should have been!
mind you, I never did like the contortions the Cessna gear does.
