Wasn't there a RAAF pilot years ago who managed to successfully glide a Sabre into a landing and save the aircraft, only to be carpeted for disobeying SOPs?

I love the crewroom critics. It's a shame to lose the jet, not a waste. The jet had bang seats, engine broke, couldnt make runway, crew punched out. A waste is 2 state funerals for two bodies strapped in serv ejection seats still attached to a busted PC9 1km short of a runway.
I wouldn't like to deadstick a PC9 into a field. But that's why I fly a chopper with 2 donks!
