Ooops! In Chang Mai
KA147 (62-4147) on the runway at Chang Mai, Thailand without use of the landing gear.  John heard that the overhead hatch blew open during the takeoff and the pilot set the aircraft back down on the long runway, forgetting that he had already retracted the gear.  This is the same story I heard. Summer 1971.
