No, but I was known as the only private pilot to survive a check ride with "Preacher Jack" Eggspuler, head of the Ohio State flight department. Most of the student pilots got the CFI.
Doctor Eggspuler had been the subject of several of my TV news stories about OSU, and so decided, as a joke, to "pay me back!" It was fun, but a little stressful, because I only had about 50 hours total flight time.
I didn't know that I had been pre-screened as "very likely to pass."
Hehehe. Funny stuff.
