A large piece of landing gear from an airplane broke off and plummeted to earth Tuesday night, landing on the seventh fairway at Gorham Country Club.
Sgt. Ted Hatch of the Gorham Police Department, who recovered the landing gear for the Federal Aviation Administration to inspect, said no injuries were reported.
Hatch said the twin-engined Piper Navajo was preparing to land at the Portland International Jetport, but its pilot decided to fly back to New York after he was informed that the airplane’s landing gear was no longer attached.
