Then there was Captain Jack. Oh good ol' Captain Jack, how I miss you. The only character my GM ever had committed to an insane asylum and still be considered a PC (Admittedly on heavy medication.).
One of the best pilots around in the Star Wars universe, able to pull more from his ship than could even be dreamed. He wasn't Han Solo and she wasn't the Millennium Falcon, but they did many great things. Only one problem.
The ground.
It seemed like he was ill fated to always crash, no matter what. Forests, plains, a mountain, an ice sheet... Man I miss those days...
Hopefully I'll have some Shadowrun stories of my driving mishaps for you folks, considering my luck with operating vehicles.
This was a way back in the current thread, but I found it funny so thought it worth mentioning. While playing the Firestorm series of adventures for Cyberpunk 2020, my brother was playing a runner character who got nicknamed Launchpad McQuack for his ability to crashland any aircraft he set foot in. One particular mission while running around a jungle, he was providing air support in a 65,000,000EB Fighter Jet. He fumbled first turn in the air and started to plummit. Fumbled his recovery roll and had to eject while the jet crashed, then on landing, proceeded to also fumble 4 straight navigation rolls while trying to find the team and ended up just lost in the jungle somewhere. Eventually we had to go and find our 'support' and tell him the job was done and it was time for home

Good times
