One of my friends from Long Island had two 709's in a matter of a month in the mid 1990's. First time the landing gear light did not show down when the landing gear was deployed. Second time, same aircraft, the landing gear would not deploy forcing a belly landing.
His second 709 resulted in the FAA pilot crashing the plane and nearly killing both of them and some kids on the ground.
