OK, how about this one: I was living on a 2,000 foot grass strip, and we were having a party at one of my neighbors. Late in the party I was fairly well wasted, and decided to give the party goers a thrill. so I went down to my house and pulled out my Cessna 310. I taxied down to the end of the runway and ran it up as if to take off into the night. However, drunk as I was I wasn't stupid, so after getting the neighbors out waiving their bedsheets I taxied back home shut down and went to bed.

they still talk about it. That was in the mid 70's best I can remember.

There's a plane sitting just yard from this desk. 210 TWO PILOTS landed it gear up. Next to it is a BARON 58, pilot landed it gear up. there's a T210 in front of it. Pilot landed it gear up. over in a storage hanger sit two other B58s, both were landed gear up. Of all these planes, only one was mechanical. I sometimes wonder how these guys found the Airport to even get in a plane let alone find the AP they're going to. All Commercial rated Pilots too.
