Santa Fe New Mexican - Gov. Susana Martinez and First Gentleman Chuck Franco were among several passengers of a private single-engine plane that touched down late Wednesday without landing gear deployed, screeching to a stop on the runway of the Santa Fe Municipal Airport. A spokesman for the Governor said she and all passengers, including Clovis-based Ninth Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler, were unharmed in the troubled landing. The group was flying back to Santa Fe from Tucumcari where they attended a "meet-and-greet campaign event" for New Mexico Senate candidate Angie Spears, whose campaign paid for the flight, according to Martinez's spokesman Scott Darnell.

While Scott Darnell told The New Mexican in an email the incident happened around 10 p.m. Wednesday, Santa Fe Police Lt. David Holliday said officers received word of the troubled landing from emergency dispatchers shortly after 11 p.m.
"When we arrived, the Governor and her party were already in the terminal and doing fine," Holliday said. "But the plane was still stuck out on the run way."
The single-engine Malibu propeller plane was piloted by Clovis businessman Sid Strebeck, who has approximately 3,000 flight hours, Darnell said. Read full story here: News New Mexico
