I remember seeing in some aviation journal a picture of a Puerto Rico Air National Guard F-104 with large fuselage marking PR-*-ANG. In British aerospeak, “Prang” is the kind of landing you may not walk away from. The editors commented that the markings were most unfortunate for a 104.

I always thought the same, once I learned the Brit meaning of PRANG. However, having literally grown up around the pilots and maintenance folks at Muniz ANGB (my Dad was a fixture at Muniz for 42 years,) I would fly with them any day of the week.
