I had only one emergency landing when the engine got full of hail stones just before I was getting to the airport.

I was lucky I guess, in the years I was flying I never had a forced landing...a few hairy ones in strong cross winds but that's all.

Two landings without power here and clipped the top of a pine tree on one landing. Both unpowered landings were because the damn pilots ran out of fuel.
