Narrative:

On aug/thu/95, had to return to land because landing gear would not retract. When maintenance showed up at the aircraft they found that the landing gear alternate release door was open about 1 inch. All checklist, acceptance (preflight) and before start checklists were done. The door appeared to be closed when we did the checklist.
