There are plenty of videos of non-fatal gear-up landings - even of airliners. I can find none that show the recovery of the aircraft after safe evacuation of crew and passengers and declaration that the the plane can safely be recoveredcompletion of safety procedures.

  1. How is the runway cleared? Is the plane towed away (scraping along the ground)? Are there cranes available in large airports? Can a single crane lift and move a large airliner?

  2. Is the plane considered a write-off or can some be repaired and continue in service? Where would such repairs take place?

What happens to a large plane after a successful gear-up landing?
