17 August 1993 - Aviation Services While approaching runway 02, the crew forgot to lower the landing gear. The circuit breaker for the gear warning horn had been pulled at some previous flights by other crew to prevent it from sounding during a high speed descent. Propeller blades contacted the runway at a speed of 96kts. When the crew tried to perform a go-around, the speed had dropped 10kts. The aircraft cleared a stone wall, crashed into the water and sank into Connecticut River.
