Good job!

Certainly happy nobody was injured. But I bet getting that plane repaired is going to cost a pretty penny.
Nice touch down, guess the emergency was the nose gear status was not down and locked.

Glad they were not injured!

Looks like a Navion, but I'm not a SME. Any further info?

That will buff out.

Looking at the replay (via flightradar24) the side number is indicated as being for a 1950 Ryan Navion B.

Dang! Why was I too stupid to do that myself? Must be, if it's possible, getting dumber. But if I were a flyer, which I never will be, I'd like to have a Navion.
