private jet makes belly landing

Very nice job by the crew. One main gear was stuck in the up position, so they wisely decided to land with all three up rather than risk cartwheeling.

Amazingly enough, it doesn't do that much damage to the Hawker, as it has a protruding keel.

 

Great pilot, old plane, looks like a BAE 125 about 30y old.

 

belly landing are no big deal, it's the movies that sensationalize the event...it's the pilot and passengers that suffer, while the hull has minimum damage

many belly landings are cleared up by lifting the hull, dropping the gear and the hull towed to the hangar

 

Will need to hit the paint booth.
