Notes:

I was on the other side of the airport when I saw a bunch of emergency vehicles congregated near a taxiway. Went out to my car to get my scanner, and eventually found out this 404 was orbiting over the airport with a gear problem. The plane did a low approach on a cross runway for its company maintenance, and then resumed orbiting. A little while later, the pilot said he was out of options, and would like to land gear up. This was the result. Everybody was OK.

Nice shot, I would be happy with that in those conditions.
