FWIW, I once had a faulty spark plug in one cylinder in a Cessna 172 in Ondangwa, Namibia (and no, "burning it off" by running the engine lean on full throttle didn't fix it). So, I flew back to maintenance in Windhoek on the other spark plug, using IFR ("I follow roads") in case the other gave up (which it didn't).

This comment reads like an intro for a very interesting book.
