Do you really need wheels to land airplanes?

A belly landing of a fire-fighting plane is seen in another episode of Ice Pilots. On a runway in Turkey. It grinded off so much metal that it exposed hydraulic line, which failed when they grinded on the hardtop.

Yep. They support the Antarctic groups.

The first was sorta a manned missile likely to 'splode. The second, I dunno...

They lost a few pilots that cracked a tank on the Komet upon landing and the 85% hydrogen peroxide leaked on them. The Arado eventually got a tricycle gear.
