A Bonanza is about to commit to a belly landing at KASH due to a landing gear failure. Archives should pick it up at 16:00 through 17:00.

Bonanza N4325W. Landed on the belly. Three bladed prop got damaged in the landing.

Ouch.  That is my home airport and I fly in a Bonanza club there - you had me scared for a sec.  Wonder what happened with the manual gear extension, if they tried.  Looks like a lot of circling so presumably they did try.

They did, the recording is pretty informative, they had him work several low passes during the incident. A mechanic was in the Tower discussing the best landing configuration with the pilot during the whole affair.

No injuries and ASH was closed for a bit.
