Or to take any sort of some package in return.

One of the engines blown to shreds? One side of the tail gone? Hydraulics dead?
Half a wing missing? Landing gear stuck? Direct pounding to the cockpit area
with something like a 20mm cannon?

Ouch, rough ride home this time - but why bail out? The thing was designed to
take all that and still make it.

That plane is a real bitch: Made to abuse - and be abused, if the "customer"
insists.
