Gear up landings can happen to ANYONE...

A whole bunch of years ago down in Galveston (KGLS), Texas, one of the local
pilots was up doing T&Gs in his brand new V-Tail Bo. I was in the FBO lounge
with some other CAP Cadets listening to the radio and watching the traffic
waiting for our turn to go for an orientation hop.

I remember the Bo driver's excited voice when he called to another plane on
final to "Wave off, Go Around! Your gear is not down!" He then cut the
pattern short to fly wing tip with the guy while they did all sorts of
things to finally get the landing gear down and make a safe landing.

By now you know the punch line to this tale. Yup, the Bo driver landed with
his gear safely stowed in the wings.
