A twin-engine Piper Aztec was forced to land on its belly at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport on Sunday after the pilot reported the landing gear wouldn't come down. Save for some bent propellers, the plane landed safely and the three people on board suffered no injuries, fire officials said.
The 1977 plane had taken off from Boca Raton Airport, bound for the Bahamas, when the pilot reported a hydraulic leak, according Fort Lauderdale Fire Division Chief Lois Bowman. It was instructed to divert to Executive Airport, she said.

I've seen at least 3 gear up landings in the past couple of months where i work with no mention of them in the news.
