From the Citizen:

ALTON — An airplane had a rough landing in town Saturday, but the pilot and passengers were not hurt.
A Cessna 170 was flying over Half Moon Lake when the pilot, John Kiley, 48, of Barnstead, tried to land on the ice, police said.
The airplane lost a wheel during the landing, causing the plane to dip and damage the propeller, according to Alton Police Sgt. Todd MacDougall.
Also aboard were passengers Scott Vick, a minor from Barnstead, and Winnifred Bolduc, 40, of Gilford, McDougal said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. An agency representative could not be reached for comment Saturday.
