There is a story about some French fighter pilot dead stick landing a Mirage III after a flameout, long time ago.

He is said to have got a 15 days suspension because that was against SOP, and a medal because the engineers were able to find out why the ATARs were flaming out.

Could not find a confirmation of it, however.
