We had another aircraft at SFB doing flybys with gear problems. This time It was Gulfstream 2. Yea I know the shots suck and are backlit and dark but it was the best I could do with the crappy weather and lighting that rolled in.
I guess the plane landed eventually as I didn't hear it on the radio eventually. They had been circling for about 1.5 hours or so.
Registration was N2JR.

Uh, wow.

How could that have been corrected? Luck?

What would be the procedure if he couldn't get them down after all?

Well the pilot was landing all thee wheels were down but the left main would not give them a locked indication and would not retract. He actually did a few touch and goes with the main gear with no problems. Before he did that theye did all kinds of thing to get the locked indication.
