Landing an MD 80(2) deadstick. Those guys *are* sierra hotel in my book, even if they may well have fouled up.
know of a guy who landed a T-38 dead stick. I've never been there, but AFAIK it has no alternate hydraulic power source. Supposedly he dove it keeping the engine windmilling supplying hydraulic power (from the engine) and got it down safely. Another guy I know tells how he once lost both on a Merlin in a storm, at night over moutains many years ago. Got them both relit. Good stories to swap over a beer at the hanger.
