There was also the Air Canada "Gimli Glider".


Yeah, bloody lucky.

Have a feeling there was another similar event 5 or so years ago again
involving Air Canada.


I cannot recall anything of the kind. (And you bet I would have

How long could an airliner remain aloft if it loses all power?

Air Transat managed it for a long time. They even made it safely to
