    Wow! I never heard a thing like that Frontier 737-200 landing belly at Casper, WY. When was that happened? I never heard of it. There is no such talk about that much about Frontier 737 landing belly. I knew only one was wrong airport by Frontier 737 landing end up at Buffalo, WY instead of Sherdian, WY back in about 1978 or 79. Frontier has a good record no accident but I was surprised that landing belly until you posted it. I didn't know that.

        When I worked for Air Atonabee (defunct airline x YPQ). We had a new ST-27 land with its gear up after it's 1st flight from YUL. The pilots were discussing the hockey game and when the gear horn sounded they just pulled the circuit breaker.

        It slid down the runway in a shower of sparks. The acft returned to service a while later.

          The Casper incident in the photo happened around 1982 or 1983. As you said, Frontier had an excellent safety record but they still had some minor incidences where there were no injuries or major aircraft damage.

          The Buffalo incident you mentioned was actually a Western Airlines flight that was scheduled to land in Sheridan but landed in Buffalo instead. I don't know if Buffalo is still doing it, but for several years after this incident there was an annual celebration in Buffalo for this. I guess Buffalo is a boring place that needed something to celebrate!!!

          July 31, 1979 - A Western Airlines 737, bound for Sheridan, Wyoming, mistakenly lands at Buffalo. See David Bird and Albin Krebs, "Wyoming Town Fondly Remembers a Mistake," New York Times, July 7, 1981. (Buffalo subsequently honored the pilot with a "Lowell Ferguson Days" celebration.)
