Crashed once in Nassau when I was a kid. Brakes failed on the left side on a Beechcraft Model 18, spun the plane around on touchdown. Slid sideways down the runway, broke the landing gear then rolled breaking the left wing. Everyone splashed through fuel walking away. There was no fire.

A year later I almost crashed in St Thomas in another Model 18. That was pilot error. Carburetor heat was on and we took all the runway trying to get off the ground. We took off towards the ocean and flew a long way so close to the water that we were sucking water up and spraying the plane. I was blissfully unaware as a kid. Thought the pilot was playing around.
