...or all of them. I was always of the mind that you can learn at least as much from the "bad" ones as the good ones.
Fly in foul wx? Not in a P-3, we'd never do that. 
I've had to have more than one seat cushion surgically removed from my butthole after some weather adventures. Nothing beats being surrounded by massive thunderstorms with a radar that doesn't work, inexplicably losing an engine, followed by a lightening strike that fries most of your radios, all the while trying to cook bacon in the galley.
And then after all that you have to try and declare an emergency with Japanese ATC with your one working radio (working only because you have a bad ass IFT who managed to once again fix the unfixable).
oh yeah, then finally land in T1. Good times.
‘course, if you’re NOAA, you actually, purposefully, fly into the worst weather you can find. Those guys have some brass ones…
