No - but I have had to make a "toilet stop". Flying from Phoenix to Las Vegas - total flight time was about 3 hours. About an hour into the flight I realised I needed to go. About an hour later I realised I wasn't going to make it all the way to Las Vegas.

I was only about 20 miles from a tiny airport (called Needles, I think) on the eastern edge of California, so decided to stop there. There was no tumbleweed blowing across the runway, but it wouldn't have surprised me if there had been. A very friendly gentleman emerged from a hut somewhere to ask if he could help. I asked him to point me towards the toilet (sorry, bathroom), and a telephone (so that I could update my flight plan, since I would be late arriving at Las Vegas.) "No fuel?" No, I don't need fuel - just a bathroom and a telephone. He became much less friendly, pointed towards a different hut, grunted, and went back to wherever it was he came from!
