A dramatic moment was recorded in the American state of Kansas, where a military training plane had to make an emergency landing without the landing gear extended. The aircraft ended up on the fuselage during landing.
According to media reports, it is a Beechcraft T-6 Texan II aircraft, which the US Air Force and Navy use for basic pilot training.
As reported by American television News12, the plane took off from the military base in Enid, Oklahoma. During the flight, there was a problem, and after several approaches to Hutchinson Regional Airport, the aircraft was diverted to McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, where it made an emergency landing “on the fuselage”.
