PETERBOROUGH -- A two-seater Amphibian/Searay plane had to make an emergency landing at the Peterborough Airport on Tuesday (July 23).
The lone pilot radioed into the airport controls just shortly after 2:30 p.m. indicating the aircraft's landing gear had malfunctioned and only one wheel had opened up.
The plane circled the airport for more than an hour, burning off fuel until a decision was made to land the plane on one wheel as lightning and rain began to fall. The plane cruised in for a smooth landing.
The pilot was not injured and the plane did not receive any damage as a result of the emergency landing.
