Remember the Gimley Glider? A 737 that ran outta fuel and had to glide a couple of hundred miles before landing at a shut down airforce base in Gimley Manitoba. It happened when Canada did the switch to metric and they filled the plane with litres instead of gallons. Everybody safe and its a great story, they made a movie out of the incident and there were a bunch of drag racers out on the strip when the plane landed
