Learjet runs off runway in Fort Lauderdale
A Learjet rests on its belly after it lost its landing gear and slid into scrub off the runway at Executive Airport in Fort Lauderdale on Monday morning. The jet was landing when it apparently overshot the runway during a driving downpour around 11:45 a.m. The plane and the ground around it was quickly soaked with a foam fire retardant because the plane's fuel tank was leaking. No injuries were immediately reported. This image was a frame grab taken from news partner NBC6 video.

He just missed the runway by a little bit.  That shouldn't count as a ditch.

Yup, but even if he just had a nosewheel off the runway, he loses perks. :(
