There were some tense moments at Bush Intercontinental Airport when an airplane was forced to land without its front landing nose gear.

The Colgan flight was headed from Little Rock to Houston on Saturday when the pilot discovered the nose landing gear wouldn't extend.

Colgan is a part of Pinnacle Airlines Corporation. Colgan has a contract with United to use the plane as part of United's Express Jet Service.

Houston Fire Department Assistant Chief Lisa Campbell said the pilots kept the plane's nose in the air as long as they could on touchdown, and that there were some sparks when the front of the plane made contact with the concrete.
