I've seen several plane crashes in my day. Wheel up landings, plane cartwheeling after a stall, etc. The worst was a guy flying a Pitts S-1 who had a hard landing and bent the tail wheel at a 90 degree angle from the fuselage. He went around after the first hard landing, came in again, and when the tail wheel hit the ground it whipped him to the side, he hit power and narrowly missed a plane on the taxiway adjacent to the runway, he got in GROUND EFFECT over the hangers on the side of the airfield. I had the scanner on and listened to him being freaked out and his wingman trying to calm him down. They went to another airport with fire/rescue where he put it down put ripped the wings off the plane. I heard it all.
