Yes. You will also notice that they're flying around at 450 mph with their engines off. THEY ARE TEH CHEAT!

unless it is a Hog I would say its a film bug. Even so, I dont think the hogs gear will drop and stay on at speeds of 450 or even 400. I dont know because I've never tried to do it.

It's a filmviewer bug. All other planes are displayed with gear down and engine off.

While sitting in 37mm field guns, I have noticed that all enemy airplanes first appear with their gear down as they approach the base.  The gear retracts as they get closer than d1.0 and remains up for the remaining time that they are within viewable distances.

I posted about this bug a few weeks back--my thread didn't get much attention in bug reports--maybe you guys could bump up the thread to make sure HTC is aware of it.

All the panes didnt have the gear down..only a few. Some would retract gear in midflight at altitude. Did notce the lack of prop spin on a few. tired the p47 with gear down..sheared off at 200.

Most do bro. The Hog i know can keep them down and even open them up well over 300mph. I dont think they will stay down at 450.

The F6F which had some of the strongest landing gear of the war doesnt open until 150mph or so and breaks off real fast there after.
