Navy transport plane belly lands in Norfolk
A U.S. Navy C-2 made an emergency belly landing at Norfolk Naval Station on Monday because its landing gear had malfunctioned.

The pilots noticed that the aircraft’s landing gear was not working properly after it took off from Norfolk Naval Station while heading for a training mission in Pensacola.

After circling the airfield for more than two hours trying to get the gear to work, the pilots choosed to do a belly landing. They shut down the starboard engine so that its propeller would not strike the runway.
