A skillful pilot landed an Iran Air Boeing 727 plane without its front landing gear at Tehran’s Mehrabad airport on October 18. The plane’s captain, Hooshang Shahbazi, was forced to land the plane using its rear wheels after its nose gear failed to unfold. The incident took place as the plane was landing after a flight from Moscow. Some 94 passengers and 19 crew members were aboard. Nobody was injured in the incident.
