G'day guys,

I am trying to track down a book/article/something called 'Free Fall'. All I know is that it is a piece written about an Air Canada incident involving a B767 that ran out of fuel and managed to glide to a drag strip. Unfortunately the title is the only piece of information I have and it is proving impossible to track a copy down.

If anyone has any extra info on this piece of literature I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
