SMALL PLANE MAKES EMERGENCY LANDING

A twin-engine Piper Cheyenne performed an emergency landing this week at Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa. No one was injured during the gear-up landing, which occurred after a problem with the landing gear. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
