NASA WB-57 Gear-Up Landing – Everyone Is OK.
NASA WB-57 landing — KHOU
Keith’s note: according to a NASA PAO tweet around 1:00 pm EST: “Today, a mechanical issue with one of NASA’s WB-57s resulted in a gear-up landing at Ellington Field. Response to the incident is ongoing, and all crew are safe at this time. As with any incident, a thorough investigation will be conducted by NASA into the cause. NASA will transparently update the public as we gather more information.” FYI NASA has three WB-57 high-altitude aircraft – one of them is supposed to provide imaging support for the Artemis II mission. No word yet as to whether this incident will affect the mission.

AAAAUGH! That picture (and a video) is horribly cringe-worthy! With that Canberra now laid up in some airplane-hospital for the foreseeable future, there’re now only three of this beautiful aircraft still airworthy (one’s in Australia, dressed in Aussie AF colors for air shows.) I hope this hurt bird can be fixed and back on the job soon!
