SEATTLE – A small plane skidded to a landing without its landing gear deployed at Boeing Field early Thursday morning.

Crews were seen removing the piper P-A 46 plane using a crane. It's owned by a Kirkland Real Estate company.

The plane flew into the Seattle area from Reno at around 3 a.m., according to Flight Aware.

Airport spokeswoman Rochelle Ogershok told The Associated Press that there were two people onboard and neither was injured.

Ogershok says the landing gear on the single-engine Piper Malibu malfunctioned and it was forced to land on its belly.

She says the plane was removed at about 5:50 a.m. and the main runway was reopened.
