According to Lt. Michelle Tucker, spokesperson for the Chief of Naval Air Training, a T-44C Pegasus was making touch-and-go landings at about 11:15 a.m. Thursday when the aircraft’s landing gear failed.
The pilot was able to bring the plane safely to a stop with minimal damage to the aircraft.
Two student pilots and an instructor were onboard at the time of the mishap, none were injured, Tucker said.
