GALVESTON, TX (KTRK) -- There were two close calls for pilots in Galveston and west Houston Thursday afternoon.
At Scholes Field in Galveston, the landing gear of a small plane apparently malfunctioned, forcing the pilot to make a belly landing there.
The pilot had to put it down without its wheels. The belly landing was a success. The pilot, who was the only one on the plane, walked away OK.
It was the second problem involving a small plane Thursday. Earlier in the morning near West Houston Airport, a plane lost power during takeoff and never got off the ground. It hit a street sing and ended up in a ditch at the end of the runway. The pilot and the passenger were not hurt.
