This is what can happen if you try to land an Electra with the landing-gear up. When, on 1 March 1999, N285F touched down at Shannon with gear up, went around with difficulty and made it back to the airport for a landing on its undercarriage, the No. 3 prop and parts of the No. 3 engine detached from the aircraft, some parts passing through the fuselage on the way. On landing, only the No. 1 engine was still producing full power. Note the damaged No. 2 and No. 4 prop also.
