Well...... there was a guy handproping his Aeronca. It started and got

Never happened.


But it did happen to the guy in a Cherokee that fell asleep.


It was a Commanche and it was totalled after it crash landed. No
airplane has ever taken off and flown for more than a few seconds
without the ending being a hell of a wreck.
