"other three?" Who knew the Arrow had 4 ?

And isn't "three gear get stuck in the down position." what you want?

gah. I meant to say the Arrow has 1 gear that was stuck up, and the
other two were down. After the bouceing (which I have never heard of
anyone doing), the two that he was able to get down, were then stuck
in the down position. I was always under the impression that it's
better to land on the plan's belly (with no gear down) than it is to
land with only 2 of the 3 gear down.



Probably but I would have tried bouncing too. I doubt that it was the
bouncing that caused the two to get stuck down.
