"WB-57 pilot made heroic landing in Houston after its landing gear failed" by @arstechnica@mastodon.social / @sciguyspace@journa.host - A #NASA WB-57F landed gear-up at Houston Ellington Field (NASA JSC) due to gear failure. The crew of two were uninjured. Gear-up landings are often repairable - but this is an old plane. The Martin B-57 Canberra was a 1950s USAF bomber retired in the 1980s. NASA has the last 3 airworthy WB-57Fs for high-altitude #science research. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/01/one-of-nasas-three-wb-57-aircraft-just-did-a-belly-landing-in-houston/ #aviation #avgeek
