— — - TAIL NUMBER REMOVED OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE OWNER AND PILOT. Phenomenal job by the pilot executing this gear up landing. He was unable to get the gear down and locked, and after a low-pass over the field, the tower confirmed that the gear was dangling in the wind, but not fully down. He retracted the gear and belly landed the aircraft on runway 28, leaving only minor damage to the belly and a prop strike. The pilot walked away and the aircraft was removed from the runway by mid afternoon.
