Aircraft owner Ron Demeritt and instructor Rusty Bouchillon were attempting to land at approximately 12:05 p.m. when they realized the front landing gear was malfunctioning. The pilots retracted the rear landing gear, as well, so the nose of the plane wouldn’t dig into the ground and cause it to flip. It even went through a ditch that was full of water... Neither were injured.
