Even more impressive than its longevity: A Boeing B-52H Stratofortress (61-023) flying with its vertical stablizer sheared off, 10 January 1964. The aircraft was being used as a testbed to identify structural weaknesses in the airframe when the event occurred. The crew, with the assistance of Boeing engineers on the ground, was able to land the aircraft safely.

I am intrigued by the idea of a fucking Airbus. What or who would it be fucking, one wonders.
Ask Substance nicely.
A DHL Airbus 300 landed with all hydraulic systems shot out - after getting hit by a missile while taking off out of Baghdad.
They're actually quite sturdy, especially the landing gear.

The Fucking Airbus offers discount admission to the Mile-High Club. Up in the air, fuck, land.
"Airbus" was just All-American furriner mocking. Shoulda picked a Russki plane.

One has to admire their dedication. An Airbus would grow a new tail in 20 seconds or so.
