I've been lucky. I did have one flight from Albany NY to Toronto ON that 
had several stops along the way. I had a seat over the wing and climbing 
out of Syracuse I noticed the prop wasn't turning. Not good. after the u-
turn I have to say it was one of the smoother landings I ever experienced. 
Having an engine fail on takeoff sort of got the pilot's attention.

The milk run was usually nice. I don't think they ever bothered to get 
more that 10000' AGL so it was scenic. Spending a fun filled evening in 
Syracuse wasn't.
