I've taken a shining to flying gliders in Flight Sim.. My friend just got his gliders license. He said he'll take me up one day. Here's hoping. ::)

Schempp Hirth Goe-3 and Schleicher Ka6E Winde. Both available here.

The Curtiss Pusher is basically a big glider with a motor attached, so dead stick landings are no problem. However I dare anyone to get a 747 down in one piece after a complete engine failure!
