I thought of another couple....

The Ansett B747 on it's first flight that dumped too much fuel and had to land on it's first approach even though it didn't have a nose wheel. Wheelbarrow all the way down the Sydney runway.

The F28 that was caught out during either fog or cyclone at Broome/Derby and wound up landing at Fitzroy Crossing after dark (no lights) the runway being lit by locals with their 4Wds!! Apparently flamed out as it crossed the boundary fence.

The Pan Am B747SP that flamed out on the runway at Sydney after a flight from LAX.
