They did that with a vintage Boeing model. Can't call the model
number but they took off and dumped in the lake due to lack of fuel.

It wasn't in a lake, but rather out in the pacific. If they had set it
down in fresh water, cleaning it up again wouldn't have been quite as bad.

It was a Boeing Stratoliner. It used the wings and tail of a B17 on an
airliner. Went down near Seattle in Elliot Bay.
