What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on Sunday, December 24, 1995, at 1530 MST, a Cessna 210E, N2323F, landed with the main landing gear in the "up" position at Falcon field, Mesa, Arizona. The aircraft received minor damage, and the certificated private pilot and 3 passengers received no injuries, visual conditions prevailed during the part 91 flight, and no flight plan was filed. The flight originated from Mesa, Arizona at approximately 1435 MST. The airplane is on lease to an operator at Falcon field. It had been flown by another pilot the morning of this incident. The other pilot had to manually pump the gear down prior to landing at Falcon field, and had left the emergency pump handle extended to alert the next renter. He told the operator by phone (because no one was in the office) of a problem with the landing gear. He did not know where the squawk sheet was and could not find the aircraft logs. When the pilot during this incident preflighted the airplane, he said he noticed the emergency landing gear pump handle pulled out. He talked with the operator who explained the previous pilot could not get a green light and pumped the handle. He preflighted the airplane. During his takeoff, the tower informed him the landing gear was not retracted all the way. He tried to lower the gear with the lever, but it would not lower. He tried unsuccessfully to pump it down with the emergency handle. When they did their emergency landing, only the nose wheel was down. Incident closed.
