    Just Damn! Tough ol' bird. Tough ol' pilot for never giving up. Amazing no one was hurt.

    I've seen a picture of that plane before, but never knew the story. Just amazing that they built them so well. Wasn't just the bombers that were built that well, either. Check out the damage to a C-47 that made it home:
