I wouldn't go as far as calling this a gear up.  It was about as close to a gear up as anyone could ever get I think.

So, if only the tail and tail cone were damaged..  Wouldn't that mean he saved the airplane in the last possible second, bouncing the tail on the runway and then going around?  I mean, sucks the gear wasn't down to start with, but saving the airplane that late is worth something. 

Just my 2 cents
