No, but I've seen a pilot climb out of one in a rainstorm and getting down
on his knees in a mud puddle, kiss the ground. Happened at RDU back in
1989.

I've done a little "ground kissing" myself. I lost the engine due to
induction icing, at night solid IFR, over mountains. Yea, I know, I
shouldn't have been there. 27 miles later with my VERY best downwind glide
there I was just a kissin up a storm.
