On the evening of July 23rd 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 ran out of fuel after a series of human errors. The new Boeing 767, lightly loaded with 61 passengers and eight crew, became a glider with only 8,686 metres (28,500 feet) of altitude to reach the nearest airport at Winnipeg, around 120km (75 miles) away. Ten minutes later it became clear that the plane was losing altitude too fast to make it. The pilots changed course, hoping to reach a former air-force base near the town of Gimli. Had the pilots been flying one of today's more aerodynamic airliners, they could easily have reached Winnipeg's airport, says Carl Holden, a recreational-glider instructor and head of Holden Dynamics.
