THE PILOT STATED HE FORGOT TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR WHILE ON A LONG FINAL APPROACH. THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS FOUND IN THE UP POSITION. THE PILOT ALSO STATED HE DID NOT HEAR A LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN WHICH SHOULD HAVE ALERTED THE PILOT WHEN THE POWER IS REDUCED BELOW 17 INCHES MANIFOLD PRESSURE IF THE GEAR IS NOT DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH FULL FLAPS ABEAM TAXIWAY FOXTROT AND CAME TO A STOP AN ESTIMATED 100 FEET PRIOR TO TAXIWAY JULIET. THE AIRCRAFT SLID APPROXIMATELY 1,150 FEET, AS EVIDENT ACCORDING TO THE PROPELLER STRIKES AND OTHER RUNWAY IMPRESSIONS. THE LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN WAS CLEARLY HEARD WHEN THE PILOT TURNED THE BATTERY MASTER SWITCH ON AFTER PERSONNEL RAISED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT THEN SELECTED THE GEAR HANDLE TO THE DOWN POSITION. THIS INSPECTOR OBSERVED THE LANDING GEAR EXTEND TO THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. THE THREE GREEN LIGHTS WERE THEN OBSERVED INDICATING THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. THE PILOT WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT AND WAS NOT INJURED. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE BULKHEADS.
