Narrative:

This was a normal training flight; we did maneuvers over the lake then touch and goes at the airport. After shooting the ILS to runway 17 we circled to land on runway 35. The landing gear was extended at mid field and checked on both base and final by the 3 green gear indication and nose gear mirror a normal landing was made firm but not too hard. After landing about one second went by and the nose gear folded up. After the nose gear folded up the props hit the ground and we slowly slid to a stop on the runway.
