Trouble with the right main gear forced the pilot of a vintage F-86 to bring the fighter in for a gear up landing Saturday during the River Region Air Show at Maxwell AFB near Montgomery, AL

Excellent piece of work there by the pilot. I bet he’s glad he had the wing tanks on or that could have been alot more expensive.

Very fitting comment from the commentator. ‘And that ladys and gentlemen is why we train so hard for many hours’ Or something along those lines.
