One of my partners in our 1974 Citabria bounced a landing and had a
prop strike. We are rebuilding the engine and buying a new prop, of
course, but he feels awful about it. This has caused me to speculate;
how many long time pilots have flown without ever damaging an aircraft?
I'm not asking about wear and tear, but actual incidents resulting in
damage. Is it common or unusual?

Let's see,
6300+ Logged PIC from Quickie to LR24
2000+ dual given
1100+ Military crew
35 years, 30 as CFI, II, MI

7 engine fails on 6 a/c, all landed on paved runways

Never had a ding, dent, damage, incident, so far...

Oops, I did have this little hang glider schmuck. Does that count?
