Thats classic!...complete with a low pass down Montreal's runway, and a full tank of gas. To top it all off, as the plane flew to first Tuscon and then to Mojave, its call-sign to air traffic control was "Gimli Glider".
RIP
I'll just sneak through here... they'll never see me if I stay low.

Or "dead-stick" it in to Mojave just for old times sake...

Would love to see this airplane go to the Canadian Aviation Museum. That or a gliding museum.
