Many years ago I put a single engine air tanker on a hillside during a fire, following an engine failure. A deputy sheriff who responded on site commented that it was a crash. I corrected him: it was a successful forced landing.

We used the airplane again.

It is very possible to have more takeoffs than landings, especially if one doesn't come back down with the airplane. There are millions of folks in that category.
