"BOISE, Idaho - The pilot of an A-10 preparing to take off from Gowen Field escaped a potential disaster after the plane's landing gear failed.

Officials told KBOI 2News that the right rear landing gear failed and collapsed just before noon Thursday. The pilot, who was taxiing in preparation for take off, immediately shut down the engines and declared a ground emergency."

Luckily no injuries.

Gotta love the A-10. Probably 3 hours of work and that bird will be back in the air.

Looks like a Nellis bird from the tail flash... But I can't tell for sure if it's a WA tail code.

Looks like the end of the MLG strut has come completely off.
