An employee where I work crashed, if I recall correctly, three planes -- all of which he built himself, and each, I believe, on their maiden voyage. I believe he finally gave up flying. I no longer see him very often, but if I run into him anytime soon, I'll try to get get the details.
Had my own somewhat harrowing experience involving a small plane and a friend's brother who had recently received his pilot's license. We didn't crash, but at the time I was fairly certain (I believe he was also) that we were going to. Maybe one day I'll share that story in the lounge.
