ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- A twin-engine plane made a belly landing at Arlington Municipal Airport late today after apparently having landing gear problems.

Both men on board quickly slipped out of the plane. Neither appeared to be hurt.

Live TV coverage showed the plane's landing gear did not appear to be fully extended as the Beechcraft circled the airport numerous times.

The pilot was able to cut power to the engines as the plane touched the runway, the gear collapsed, the nose went down and the Beechcraft slid on its belly -- and stopped.
