Did you mean Bong or Boeing?

It does however speak highly of damage tolerant aircraft.

Takes a licking and keeps on picking, like me and my guitar.

I loved that Quantas CEO on the news yesterday.
He comes out with a broad Australian accent and says: "There was nothing wrong with the plane."

Now, he probably was on about the report which suggested it was a "rust bucket" or something.
But just hearing him tell us there was nothing wrong with the plane, whilst behind him there's a picture of the plane with a gaping hole in it, cracked me up.
