N800GP Lear 35A hard landing - was gear down???

[bizjets101]

Just looking at the photos of a Lear 35A that suffered a hard landing in Springfield IL today, just wondering if they had the gear down or not? They didn't even close the runway - so it didn't leave any gear behind???

Aircraft slid of the runway, after suffering a hard landing - that slightly (minor back injuries) injured the crew, but left all four passengers uninjured.

Just looking at second pic, looks like nose gear doors are open? Not sure . . .

If it takes full power to taxi, chances are, your gear are not down.

Gear was down. You can se the nose gear doors open(whats left of them) in one of the pics. That was a crash....not a hard landing!

Bet they were all wearing fur collars after that one!
