Is it not true that the Air Canada 767 that ran out of fuel in 1983 did a monster side-slip to get into Gimli?
Obviously with no engines he had only one chance to get it on - as a lowly PPL I'd guess that would be the only time you'd ever want to heave a 767 on it's side.
Even in a Tomahawk, the momentum caused by side-slipping can get a bit hairy of you're not, pardon the pun, 'on the ball'...
