After that incident, I realized it is easier and does less damage to the plane to land gear-up in the nice soft grass right next to the runway. Some dirt and seed is a lot cheaper. Very little need to reskin the belly either. The prop strikes on dirt will do minimal damage to the engines as well. They hit hard surface and both engines are trashed.

Alright quit messing with us. Why did you land gear up? Yes, I want the full story. :)
