On a much smaller scale but in the same vein, while I was on my glider scholarship they showed us a video of a glider trying to land and veering into the trees at the side fo the runway and getting DESTROYED.... then they showed closeup of the wreckage and I caught sight of the tailfin and it said C-GTGB and I was like oh that looks familiar OH MY GOD THAT'S MY PLANE.
So basically I got to see a video of the terrible crash of the glider that they'd then rebuilt and put me in to fly by myself for the first time
Oh yeah, and rebuilt=applied duct tape to, apparently, judging by, well, the amount of duct tape holding my freaking airplane together.
