Sioux City, Iowa — An Iowa Air National Guard KC135 Stratotanker landed on its nose Wednesday at the Sioux City Gateway Airport when the nose gear did not come down.
Airport manager Mike Collett says it happened around 2:30 during training for “touch and go” landings.
He says no commercial flights were missed at the airport. Collett says the airport staff helped the 185th Wing take care of the aircraft.
A spokesman for the 185th Air Refueling wing says there were five crewmembers on board and no one was injured. There was some damage to the nose of the aircraft. The 185th is investigating why the nose gear did not come down.
