Two pilots belly land twin-engine plane in Winnipeg

Two female pilots, 25 and 26, have to belly land their plane carrying 10 passengers in Winnipeg due to a problem with landing gear deployment. Nice job, ladies!

It's good to see competence in pilots. The task is probably easier in a smaller plane, vs. Sullenberger's jet, but still a daunting one. Put her down without gear on a landing strip and hope to keep the fuselage in one piece. The fact that no one was more than a bit shaken up is a tribute to some great flying.
