This was a more impressive gear up landing I think. Interestingly enough the Hawker 800 has a hand operated hydraulic pump but I am still unsure why they could not extend the gear.

So you're approaching the airport in your lovely old Twin Bonanza, and as you hit the gear switch, you notice you don't have a "down and locked" indication. What to do?
If you're skilled and a little lucky, you do what this guy did:

First, i would say "Oh Sh*t"
Then probably try that landing
