There's an interesting thing about the Cessna RG series of aircraft. I've read if you already have the gear down and locked there's little to be gained from raising the gear. The Cessna design is very clean with the gear down, a simple tube strut and the gear doors shut again after extension. The transit of the gear during extension/retraction causes way more drag with the main gear doors open plus the tires present sideways to the airflow. There's probably a break even point if you're gliding a substantial distance that it would pay to raise them back up that would extend your glide, IDK. The gear on an RG don't offer much help with speed control like most retracts.

Nah, thats chill compared to an F16 pilot out in Utah when i was in. The plane had multiple "Red Xs" on its maintenance logs (1 is enough to ground a plane). He took off with all the screws, holding the skin panels on, only a qauter turn in... the maintainer put them on that way before grabbing dinner and was going to torque them all in when he got back. Well someone let the pilot in it and the pilot didnt care that the panels literally were hanging from the wings. Surprisingly everything was peachy until he landed back on base and hit the runway. All the hundreds upon hundreds of screws hit the icey runway and the whole base was called in for a "F.O.D. walk". Luckily i was sent down to salt lake city to de-arm the other planes that had to divert. The maintainer for the plane was fine, but the pilot and the guy who helped him get off the ground had the worst paperwork nightmare possible though.

As they say, from the moment the engine fails your insurance company owns the plane, your only job going forward is to do what it takes to walk away from the situation. This pilot did exactly that.
