This 1975 Light Buccaneer Sea Plane was unable to deploy its landing gear and made a rough landing at Dutchess County Airport shortly before 6:00 pm.  New Hackensack  responded to the scene and inflated air bags to raise the plane enough to bring the landing gear into proper position, and then pushed the plane off of the runway.  The process took approximately an hour and the airport was closed during that time period.  No injuries were reported and the plane only sustained minor damage.
