Perhaps one of the funniest post-incident accidents I have ever seen was when I was stationed in Korea. I used to fly with a bunch of Koreans at an area they were going to build some apartments, but had only laid the streets and fire hydrants for some odd reason. Anyway, this guy is flying what looked like a Kyosho Cseena 182 when he landed it and dinged the leading edge into a fire hydrant. I looked at it and saw a visible dent in the leading edge and walked off thinking, "his flying day is done" and went to preflight my own plane. Five minutes later I hear an engine start and the guy is taxiing out to take off again. He gets up to about 300 feet and starts doing loops and other stuff until his wings fold together above the airplane, and then separate. Now we have two wing halves gently fluttering to the ground, a dumfounded pilot who is not doing anything wih the controls, and a missile-like Cessna 182 fuselage spiraling nose first toward the ground at near full throttle. It impacted safely away from everyone, but right into the pavement, obliterating anything that may have once resembled an aircraft part.

Since then, I know never to fly an aircraft that has had an incident until I can do a complete and thorough inspection at home. sometimes you have to peel back a little covering to see the damage.
