I remember my second PPL Nav, this is going back to maybe 2003.

Overflying YKTN to join circuit my instructor and myself noticed a plane half way down and half way off the RWY and not moving. We flew down and did a Precautionary search and Landing leg over the runway 200' AGL, we noticed that the plane was actually flipped upside down on the runway.

Obviously the instructor took over and landed the plane, the first thing i noticed is that it was a tail wheel plane and the cabin had to be smashed to get the pilot out.

The pilot walked away and i guess had to go to hospital due to neck complaints but yeah there is my story, thats really sticks out in my mind.
