Check out some battle damaged B-17s that made it home. One had 1 control cable intact. Said it was the only thing holding the tail on. There was an F-15 that lost an entire wing from the nacelle on out. Pilot didn't even know until he noticed fuel leaking out that side of the plane. A few Navy jets have taken a cat shot launch with their wingtips still folded up. Now how that happens is beyond me as 8 guys are hooking you up and the launch officer has to send you!
