Then there's the story of the early Aerocommander which flew from the factory field to the testing centre with the second prop stowed in the cabin....
can't attest to the truth of that one.
Can talk though about a Van EFATO at TL in Jan this year where the driver was in IMC and managed to turn it around and land on the reciprocal RWY off the ILS....was lucky though, the TL 2 S departure tracked him south, then east then back overhead before taking up track to the destination (MA) so he was at 4200' / 4nm (I think) when it went quiet.....wonder what woulda happened if he was tracked straight out to the west on T/O, would have been IMC over major tiger country at low alt
TWB - the C90 - some believe the pilot was incapacitated by the uncontained fan disintegration which explains why he took no corrective action; otherwise he would probably have either shut it down and overrun, or continued the T/O and at least theoretically been able to fly it away on the one remaining engine. We will never know for sure
