When an Air Canada 767 ran out of fuel near winnepeg in the early eighties it became the worlds largest glider...... everyone survived though.

How do you think they lost the height to bring her down to a disused air force base? They side-slipped her several times
Don't suppose they were particularly worried about airflow and stall margins through the engine though
