Default Is Zero Indicated Airspeed Possible?

There is the question. I'm in a mood today. Have you flown your
favorite aircraft with zero or near zero indicated airspeed?


I have flown an older (I mean, really old) glider that had a venturi
instead of a pitot, and the thing would happily drop to zero (not that it
was normally flying much faster :-) whenever you set it into a mildly
aggressive slip...
