Just finished a Christmas Movie (sort of). "Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771" staring Scott Bakula. The movie is based on a true story of Jay Parkins who got lost over the Pacific while transporting a crop duster from US to Australia. His direction finder malfunctioned and he got lost, but a New Zealand Airliner, with a lot of ingenious navigational tricks by the Captain, was able to finally spot him and lead him to Aukland, where he made a successful dead stick landing in a T-storm after running out of gas 3 miles from the runway. He landed on Christmas day after more than 23 hours in the air. Great movie (available on Amazon on DVD BTW)
