SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- People driving by Downtown Airport along East Division Monday saw an odd sight.
A small twin engine plan apparently made a landing without its landing gear.
The plane's propellers were also damaged.
No one was around when the KOLR10/KOZL News crew arrived in the afternoon, and a check of the Springfield Police Department shows no accident report.
The plane is a 1965 Piper PA30, registered out of Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

That is the loudest landing you will ever have, and the most expensive. All surving is an absolute perfect landing.

It wasn't really a crash... it was a gear up landing. The pilot forgot to put the gear down before landing. Once the propellers started hitting the runway, it was too late to power up and take off again. We flew out of there after it happened. It was a few feet off the runway and the airport managers were looking for the pilot when we left. Also, your video doesn't work.
