I landed on a runway once at an uncontrolled airport and a twin engine beech craft almost hit me head on taking off in the wrong direction. Scared the hell out of me...

I was flying back to the field with a wingman and approach brought another section in right in front of me. It was VFR so I thought it was no big deal, but I hit their wake turbulence and my airplane rolled upside down, into my wingman. My wingman managed to take separation, I rolled upright, we came into the break in the loosest formation ever seen in Naval Aviation, and landed safely. I gave my data dump to the event lead and then we went to the O'club and got completely hammered.

Some guys would list all their night traps, but I don't consider them dancing with grim reaper, they just suck.
