Just watched a beautiful textbook wheels up landing. All four occupants got out, walked away, no fire.
1970, Beechcraft West Van Nuys Airport... had just finished installations on new A36 Bonanza and old fighter pilot salesman took it up for a check ride... just as he lifted off the left main wheel came off and bounced down the runway... he burned off fuel and made a similar great landing.. then, the little fat guy jumped out
of the cockpit and ran all the way into our facility yelling
"who worked on the wheels!! ...I'm going to kill him!" there were abut 20 of us hiding

Funny story, but different. When I was a teenager (oh, so many centuries ago!!) I learned to change the wheels on small airplanes. A wheel coming off the axle is NOT the same....(still, a funny rendition, so "points" for that!)
ANOTHER funny (yet true) story. A write up during WW2:
"Number 2 engine missing in flight'
Mechanic's reply in the LogBook"
"After brief search, Number 2 engine located on left wing".

man....you should have seen that wheel...bounced 50 feet in the air and continued bouncing all down the runway...
Great job by the pilot!
TV camera job sucked though!

Great job by the pilot and the controllers at SAT. Thankful to hear everyone was oaky.
It's too bad the coverage on Fox News wasn't as good as professional as the landing (http://www.foxsanantonio.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/breaking-news-plane-landing-gear-problems-circling-airport-4875.shtml).
