Learjet flying near St. Louis preparing for emergency landing due to landing gear problem, according to airport #breaking

Reports are that it's a USAF Lear.

A jet flew over several minutes ago as if to land, possibly to give ground chance to visually inspect landing gear, though possibly it was not the jet in question at all.

And then there's....

MarkinSavannah It appears to be N418MN registered to AEROMETRO LLC · HOUSTON TX

Bo Meck It is a LearJet 45

Anyone know who is on the plane? Is it a private company jet or owned by an individual?

the yahoos on the live feed have some ideas - but they are wackos lol

Looks like the plane is owned by Aerometro out of Houston, TX.

Sounds like a charter plane maybe? Since the company has "Aero" it its name?

KMOV reporting jet landed moments ago - looks good. "Appeared it was a normal, smooth landing."

Would be interesting to know what the passengers talked about for the last 3 hours while waiting to see if they would survive the landing.
