    Well if this was a paid touring pax flight, said customer sure got the experience of what WWII trainees dealt with from time to time forgetting to lower the gear - not that we know that was indeed this case (but I'd bet a cool Benjamin it is).

    1. The passenger raised the gear handle while the aircraft was landing. It was a mistake. Nobody was hurt and the airplane will fly again. Sounds like you owe them a cool Benjamin.
