(COLUMBIA, MO) - Around 2:30 pm, a Beechcraft Baron twin engine aircraft which took off from Hook Field in Texas landed with four passengers on-board without incident at Columbia Regional Airport (COU).
Shortly after landing on runway 2-20, the aircraft turned onto taxiway B, traveled about 20 feet, and the gear then collapsed for an unknown reason.
Airport Public Safety personnel and vehicles responded and found the four occupants unharmed and exiting the aircraft. No fire occurred.
The aircraft was disabled in a safety area causing the closure of runway 2-20. The runway closure caused American Airline flight 3681, scheduled to depart COU to Dallas Fort-Worth at 2:31 pm to be delayed.
Units from the Columbia Fire Department responded with airbags normally used in vehicle extrication's and technical rescues, to lift the aircraft high enough for a tug to slide a tow bar underneath it.
Around 6:30 pm, the aircraft was towed to Central Missouri Aviation and runway 2-20 was opened. American Airlines flight 3681 was then boarded and should be departing for Dallas around 7:30 pm.
Late evening arrivals from Dallas and Chicago should not be affected by this incident.
