What happened
On an unspecified date, a four-engine aircraft performed a landing at Barbers Point Naval Air Station with its landing gear retracted. The incident resulted in a wheels-up touchdown on the runway surface.
Despite the impact of the belly landing, there were no casualties among those on board. The six crew members onboard the aircraft escaped the event without any injuries. However, the structural damage sustained during the landing was severe enough that the aircraft was declared a total loss, being damaged beyond repair.
Findings
The specific reasons for the failure to deploy the landing gear remain undetermined at this time.
