My dad was an Aircraft mechanic while he was in the airforce. When we lived in washington, he was a crew chief for B-52 Gs. They had one that HAD to fly a mission, even though a flock of geese had smashed into it's verticle stabilizer. they patched a basketball sized hole with duct tape and it flew another 10 missions before they were able to properly fix.


Gotta love the military. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. if it is broke, use duct tape.":)
