Ok mine was 25 years ago when I had just got my PPL.
I had come to flying from car racing so was a lunatic ( still am )
I had little money and all the club 150s were being used on a busy day.
I took a male friend for a flight in the only available club aircraft a PA28!
only being able to afford 30 to 40 mins I climbed the aircraft to 10 k into freezing air and decided to make a quick descent for hopefully a straight in.
Calling finals but still descending with a closed throttle much to fast I decided to fly down the runway, pull up and break into a downwind for landing.
In the process flying along the runway a bit nearer the admiring crowd around the control tower to impress the onlookers with my skills
Pulling up the aircraft started shaking badly and I could hardly get any power.
I was now heading away from the airfield and loosing height from my miserly 200feet.
I selected a field and made a perfect approach to a perfect touchdown point.
As I flared my passenger panicked threw open the door and tried to jump out.
The plane touched and thinking he would break his kneck I left the controls holding onto his jumper,
He and I were halfway out on the wing me gripping on hard.
The aircraft was merrily bouncing down the field with no one at the controls.
I could not hang on and he slipped from my grasp into the field.
I climbed back in back on the controls and tried to stop the aircraft but now too late! The aircraft demolished a hedge holding a tree stump.
That sliced through the wing.
He was fine I was fine the aircraft badly damaged.
Had I ignored him it would have been a perfect field landing.
But hey Ho my fault and lack of experience trying to show off.
It all hit the local press and I ended up with a red face, the club with no 4 Seater for some time.
But that was more than 25 years ago a new PPL still with a racing bug and not the experience to do what I was trying to do.
Since then and thousands of hours not a scratch.
Beat that
or rather maybe not?
