Early 80's as ATCO middle east airport, quiet day CAVOK, TMA 707 freighter on long approach.
"10 miles long final"
"Don't have you visual Sir, what's your altitude?"
"10 thousand feet, request one-in-one....exmilitary, just want some practice."
Impressive looking approach ending in a nice touchdown. "We have a steering problem, can you send a tug to get us off the runway?" ...the R/t was calm and composed throughout.
15 minutes later, red faced incoherent copilot in the Tower demanding I report the Captain and call the police re attempted murder........apparently fuel had run out over 20 miles away and the only way was a glide approach. I did what any sensible ATCO would do and explained how to find the Manager's office, thinking, You are lucky to be alive!!!
