After seeing the evening news in here in San Antonio, there was an
experimental a/c that made an emergency landing at San Antonio International
today (05/10/00) at around 4:00 pm.  The media didn't identify the make of
experimental but from the footage it sure looked like a Lancair (either lV
or the 2 place).  The anchor stated that apparently the "nose gear fell
off."   Also stated the pilot who is retired was uninjured.  They had
footage of the plane being towed by a tug and it did not appear to have
sustained major damage although they did say the runway was closed for
twenty minutes.  Does anyone have any more information?  I will try to see
additional footage at 10:00 and see if I can get the N number.

(hope the peel ply wasn't left on the gear)
