MILLARD, Neb. — An aircraft made an emergency landing at the Millard Airport Tuesday night around 7:30 p.m., according to a representative with Omaha's Airport Authority.
The pilot, who was the only person on the plane, had taken off from Millard Airport earlier in the evening and was returning when he realized that his retractable landing gear was not working.
The pilot was forced to land the plane on its belly and managed to do so without incident.
Fire and Rescue crews responded to the incident and the airport was shut down until 9:43 p.m. when the plane was removed from the runway.
