A U.S. Airways official said a jet with 34 people aboard was forced to make a belly landing early this morning at Newark Liberty International Airport after experiencing landing gear trouble. No injuries were reported.
The turboprop plane, which was operated by Piedmont Airlines, departed Philadelphia before 11 p.m. Friday to make the short flight to Newark, U.S. Airways spokesman Davian Anderson told ABC News.

Re: US Airways Prop makes belly landing at EWR
No it isn't. It's a Dash8-100. So a prop it is...
There are Dash 8's flying around that were repaired after a belly landing. I've seen two in active service myself, so the damage on its own does not have to mean the end for this bird. However, it is an early one, and Piedmont Airlines has allready parted out and scrapped several dashes. So it probably is the end of the ride for this one.
