In propeller driven aircraft, I've had 40 or 50 engine failures over the years, many of them in radial engine airplanes. I've had ten or so in single engine piston airplanes, and two years ago two engine failures in turbine singles within a three month period.

Interesting thread here.

I got to thinking about how many engine failures I've had and couldn't even come close to remembering that many.

What kind of maintenance did the airplanes have that you were flying SNS3Guppy?

On the other hand you must have been flying a lot more hours or years than most of us have.
