Jeez I wondered wy you liked bipes so much... now I know!  Couldn' agree with you more about Bach! And of course he is the author of Johnathan Livingston Seagull! "Nothing by Chance" is another good book of his. Oh and "Dreams" as well.

Gimley Glider
Yes Ron thats the story of the Gimley Glider. The pilot landed a 767 by sideslipping it to loose altitude to make the runway. Several experienced pilots tried what he did on a simulator and failed to do it! The pilot thought they had put gallons of fuel into the tanks and it was litres so they ran out of fuel and 43,000 feet over Alberta and glided to a safe landing.
You'll have to read the book. The story is increadable how everything went wrong up to the point the engines quit and how everything went right to get them on the ground safely saving the lives of 200 and some odd number of passengers.

Like to collect very old aviation books. the oldest one is copywrite 1912. One I"m reading now is 1915, called Aircraft In The Great War by Claude Graham-White. Everything was fresh in their minds when they were written. Also like biographys by Billy Barker, Bishop, Buzz Burling.

Spitfire - the Canadians by Robert Bracken There are many, many more, but those are a good read and take you back to a different time.....
