Ex-Top Gun pilot forgot landing gear in Tucson mishap
Remember the F-86 belly landing during the Air Combat Command Heritage Flight Conference in March? It turn out that Dale Snodgrass forgot to lower his undercarriage while landing.

He was returning to land at the end of an air show practice session. As a result of the accident, he was given counseling as "corrective action," according to the Federal Aviation Administration report.

Luckily the F-86, owned by a California air museum, sustained only minor damage.
