Plainview firefighters and airport personnel inspected a 1960s-era military jet trainer after it made an emergency gear-up landing about 1:40 p.m. Saturday at the Plainview-Hale County Airport.

There were no injuries. 

The craft, an Aero L-29 Delfin jet trainer, was making a refueling stop at Plainview when the pilot reported that the landing gear would not drop. 

The pilot, Scott Farnsworth, was able to bring the plane safely to a stop on the main runway. 

The plane was en route to California. 

According to Wikipedia, Aero L-29 Delfin was designed and built in Czechoslovakia and served as the standard air force jet trainer in the Warsaw Pact.
