Narrative:The twin engine aircraft landed on it´s belly when the gear did not extend and lock properly for landing. No injuries reported to occupants but aircraft substantially damaged. Engines were shut down and props feathered horizontal to wings prior to landing. Highly trained pilots landed aircraft like it was on cotton. Aztecs are know for the gear to remain 8" below the belly of the aircraft resulting in the aircraft rolling to a stop on the center line of the runway. Notable, slight belly skin scratched and belly rotating beacon broke. Very minor damage and no prop strike.
