The Philippine Star 10/20/2002
A four-seater, single-engine plane owned by SEAIR landed on its belly yesterday at the Manila Domestic Airport after its landing gear collapsed on touchdown on Runway 13-31.
All three passengers and two pilots of the Cherokee-type aircraft escaped injury. The plane was immediately towed to a hangar.
The chartered flight came from Clark Air Base in Pampanga. Manning the cockpit were Capt. Iren Dornier and First Officer Bernardo Dollas. – Rey Arquiza

Heinz, can you provide me with the link for the incident above, if you have it? I didn't hear about that one. Thanks.
Its better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than be in the air wishing you were on the ground. Fly safe!
