It has been almost four decades since the legendary event of the Gimli Glider. Due to a combination of technical issues and human error, an Air Canada Boeing 767 ran out of fuel at 41,000 feet. The pilots glided the plane to a former airfield turned race track. Miraculously, they landed without any severe injuries to passengers or crew. Even the aircraft itself went on to serve another 25 years with the airline.
