I went to our annual airshow and as I arrived, a bonanza pilot apparently forgot to put the gear down, to his defense, there were a lot of traffic in the pattern and the pilots giving airplane rides were coming in on 5 mile finals one after the other and this guy was using the pattern (the right way) and slipping in between the straight in guys and a lot of beckering on the radio. I think this led to him over looking his check list-IMHO

This is one of the reasons we pay so much for aircraft insurance!  One of his excuses was probably something like: "There was this loud horn blowing, and I just couldn't think".
