LOL. I had the same experience after an extended period of flying
nothing but Seminoles. It is a real hoot sometimes checking out
airline pilots in a Cessna 172.

I heard a story of an instructor who let an airline pilot fly his 172
without a checkout. He overran the runway and rolled it up in a ball. He
walked away, but the plane was a total loss.

No insurance on the plane, so the owner saw no reason to tell the FAA or
NTSB about it.
