Narrative:

Airplane landed at the dallas airport after approximately 2500 ft of rollout, traveling at approximately 40-50 KTS, landing gear retracted and plane skidded 170 ft damaging propellers and gear doors. Engines are being inspected as is the electrical system for possible short circuit. Witnesses saw the gear handle in the down position. I have dropped and lifted the gear handle a 1000 times and same for the flaps with a set hand position for each of the switches which are different. I have no recollection of inadvertently hitting the wrong switch. Muscle memory and my hand position procedure make it very difficult for me to believe I activated the gear handle. The engines are being inspected. There appears no other damage and thankfully no one was hurt.
