Cape Air pilot makes skillful landing with ‘gear issue’ at Boston Logan International Airport

Move over Sully Sullenberger. A new hero pilot has saved the day.

A Cape Air pilot made a skillful landing while dealing with a “gear issue” at Boston Logan International Airport on Tuesday, according to officials.

The Cape Air twin-engine Cessna 402 took off from Logan on its way to Maine in the middle of the afternoon before the pilot was “alerted to a landing gear anomaly shortly after take-off,” a Cape Air spokesperson said.

The pilot turned the plane around and “landed with its gear up” around 3:20 p.m., according to the FAA, which is investigating the incident.

“The pilot performed the appropriate checklist and landed the aircraft back at Boston Logan Airport,” a Cape Air spokesperson said.

Three people were on board the flight that was headed for Bar Harbor, and there were no reported injuries.

Massport Fire Rescue responded to the incident.

WBZ was able to capture the plane landing at Logan.
