My CFI was taxiing to the active when he saw this happen. It appears the pilot forgot to deploy the landing gear. There was no emergence call prior to touchdown, and a Cessna waiting to take off was heard screaming at the pilot to go around.

Bad day.

Some days ,your just not all together. Never good when you forget the gumps check.

Ohh boy. Glad it was kind of not a big deal. The other day someone blew a tire on landing at KISP. Not good.

That was last Saturday, I was on final right behind him. He was able to limp off the runway. They closed 33L for about 20 minutes while the checked for debris and I was diverted to 33R.

Could have been worse, thankfully nobody was hurt.
