Plane Skids To Landing Some scary moments came for a flight instructor and his student at Stinson Field on the city's southside around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The two occupants of a Cessna-172, from the Alpha Tango Flying School, were practicing touch-and-go landings. The training session ended when an approach to the runway caused the landing gear to collapse, causing the pilot to lose control of the aircraft. The plane finally skidded to a landing on one of the ramps at Stinson Field, knocking over a few taxiway signs. The airplane was damaged, but the instructor and student were not hurt.
