I love this plane... it may have a 100 year lifespan because it first flew in 1952... so who knows.
But I do recall reading how confounded the Soviets were with the landing gear. They assumed that it was limited to no-crosswind landings because you could not possibly land something like that with belly-only wheel gear.
I found this the other day

BTW gyros keep the gear canted with the runway stripe.
