Is there any historical example of a plane crashing twice? (interpreting "crashing" liberally to include any landing where something went wrong)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Lines_Flight_123
Had a tailstrike (tail hit the runway during landing), was repaired, 7 years later the repair later failed in flight and fully crashed. Dunno if a tailstrike counts as a crash though.
Counts in my book
Can't think of the same one crashing twice, but some have been repaired and returned to service and could theoretically crash twice.
