He says he picked an open spot off the airport, lowered the gear and set it down. He doesn't know for sure whether the gear was compromised, but they landed "pretty hard" on a fairly rough patch of ground. They noticed fire as soon as the plane stopped sliding and got out. The plane was completely consumed by fire. He figures there were more than 30 gallons of fuel aboard. He was insured. Lee, Incredible! I'm certainly glad the occupants got out OK. I look forward to an analysis of what caused the engine to not respond. Any thoughts?
