I saw a post on the Cessna Pilots Association Forum, of a gear up landing of a Val. I guess it happened in San Marcos, TX. Anyone else see this, they say it happened yesterday. Nobody hurt thank goodness.

:shock:
Must have been a "Kate", since Vals don't have a retractable undercarriage! Anyway, I'm glad there were no injuries.
