Landing a plane after the pilot dies, that is. Doug White did it with a King Air, which he actually owns through his company. But he only holds a Cessna 172 PPL and had never flown anything bigger. With the help of Air Traffic Control and a former King Air pilot on the ground, he managed to land the plane and save the other passengers on board. Read about it here.
