Has Anyone Been on an Aircraft That Crashed/Had an Accident?

I thought of this after the “Has Anyone been in a plane crash/emergency thread.” As this is probably more likely for us: wether or not it happened while you flew on it: has anyone been on a plane that has been involved in some sort of incident, or has crashed after you have flown on it?

For me, I have flown on N561WN, which overran the runway in Orlando last August: Boeing 737-73V - Southwest Airlines | Aviation Photo #2686573 | Airliners.net

I departed from Oscar Machado Zuluaga for the beautiful island of Los Roques, and after takeoff and the plane lost half the power on one engine so we had to go back to Oscar Machado Zuluaga (I really wanted to go to los Roques :(
About two years later that plane was written off because it got out of the runway when landing.

I also flew on this plane once and it was written off too after it landed without gear at PTY

Completely the pilots fault, after the landing they tested the landing gear and it worked!!

Well kinda two:

  1. I was on flight BAW114 from london to jfk, and we were diverted to Halifax because of an electrical fire or something like that in First class.

  2. I flew on a germanwings a319 flight from London to Düsseldorf the same day that Germanwings flight 9525 crashed in the alps. Same plane (Kinda) same destination, same time. Scary right!

I was on a F100 that the pilot took off WITHOUT flaps. I said to myself “Oh no! These might be the last moments of my life” but they managed to take off safely

I was on D-AIAD which had a bird strike before I travelled with her

@Owen_Anderson, if you don’t need flaps for takeoff, then why did this happen:
Northwest Airlines Flight 255 - Wikipedia
