LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: The plane is coming in. So, let's look at the plane.

This is the Cessna 172 over Meachem Field near Fort Worth, Texas, who's been circling for a couple of hours, waiting to get rid of fuel before it takes on the runway with no landing gear. There's a student pilot aboard, there's an instructor.

And, as the aviation expert told us just a little bit ago, this is a matter of frustration and embarrassment rather than real danger, because this expert says he does not expect anyone to be hurt, because the plane goes so slow when it comes near the ground.

But it doesn't look -- it looks like it went around again, Natalie. So, the suspense continues.

NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: As we said, again and again, we will continue to watch it. Won't we, Lou?

WATERS: Absolutely.
