ALL ATTEMPTS TO EXTEND THE GEAR FAILED AND AT 1902Z, 1302 LOCAL, THE PILOT MADE A GEAR UP LANDING AT MINNEAPOLIS ANOKA COUNTY AIRPORT.  THERE WAS ONE PERSON ON BOARD, NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM THE ACTIVE RUNWAY BY CRYSTAL SHAMROCK.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
