RED DEER – A firefighting plane had a rough landing in central Alberta due to a landing-gear issue.

Red Deer Regional Airport CEO Graham Ingham says a Lockheed Electra operated by Airspray Airtankers made an emergency landing on Saturday when it couldn’t get all of its main landing gear down.

Ingham says four crew members were on board the plane. He says no injuries were reported.

The four-engine plane has since been removed from the runway.
