There are a few around here. One in particular is notorious. Once, after he
curled the prop tips on his airplane by "not quite" landing it gear up, he
sawed off the tips with a hack saw and flew home. He has made at least one
other gear-up landing, as well, and usually does not bother to tie his
airplane down.

I'm completely serious. There were numerous witnesses.

There are other wild tales about this guy, but less well documented so I
won't repeat them here.
