I was a controller at Columbus in the late 70s and a Tweet was RTB with 2 IPs and gear stuck up. Wing Com, DO, and one or two more Cols were along the center runway (in their staff cars) in the area where the FD formed the runway for the gear up landing. Guess the IPs forgot about the loss of drag with the gear up and touched down just beyond the foam in a shower of sparks. Really did no damage but I'm betting they were buying that evening!
