Could a single engine pilot land a passenger jet? (from Airplane)
I can relate to you the true story of my uncle who successfully landed a large WWII aircraft with no flight training.

He was the flight surgeon on board a large aircraft that got heavily shot up.  Hostile fire killed or severely injured every crew member.

He moved the pilot out of his seat, and contacted a control tower.  With the expert help of the control tower operators, he successfully landed the aircraft.

After the war, he had a private practice in his home where he saw patients.  For patients too ill to come to him, he performed house calls.  He continued to perform house calls until a short time before he passed.

I have always thought his life story would form a compelling foundation for an inspiring movie.
