A cessna 210 had to make an emergency landing without his rear landing gear down. The local pilot did a hell of a job landing with the front gear locked down, stopping the engine before he was stopped and only minimal damage to the planes wind tip and right elevator. A forklift was brought in, the plane lifted and the rear gear dropped. They started up the plane and taxied back to their hanger. This was a maintenance flight and they had checked the gear before the flight several times, cycling the up and down but they wouldn't come down for the landing of this flight. This video was shot by my son cause i was on the fire engine.
