Re: Cross controls on a 747 or other big jet/turbo prop

A Canadian jet (767 methinks) ran out of fuel 10+ years ago and turned into a heavy metal glider. It landed at a disused airstrip. The captain sideslipped it all the way in as they were way too high. He was a former glider pilot and fortunately had his stick and rudder skills intact.
