I broke wind at the sauna one day, With some guys who were all gay-for-pay. It began as melodious, Then quickly turned odious And drove the garotos away.
Many aircraft have exceeded Vne without harm. However, whenever this happens the pilot becomes a test pilot. Virtually everything that happens after exceeding this speed is theoretical (even though one might live to talk about one's own experience doing so).
You might be interested to know that the MU-2 (Mitsubishi turbo-prop) was often flown at well over Vne in descents when cargo pilots late at night were headed for the barn (in a hurry to get home). I have heard tell of 350 KIAS (knots indicated airspeed) which is 55 knots over Vne.
Various models of the Lear Jet have had what many called a "go fast" switch which interrupted the software designed to alert the pilot of over speed as well as counter act it if continued.
Earlier Part 23 aircraft were certified to withstand 35 feet per second vertical gusts and later Part 23 50 feet per second. I have often thought that pilots who came to grief during an encounter with a thunderstorm did so by "giving up" and over stressing the airframe or wings at some point. However, a strong enough storm will do it regardless.

Jealous bitches, of course it's mink, well that's what the lady at Goodwill told me it was. I paid 20 bucks for it, and she thew in the tiara at no charge.
And if my baby Bieber can wear mink, then I can wear it to.

The word odious seems to be having a run lately. Struggling to recall where else I saw it used just yesterday.
