Is there any historical example of a plane crashing twice? (interpreting "crashing" liberally to include any landing where something went wrong)

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.
