Leave it to Frauenfelder to actually post something interesting on BoingBoing:

I dug up this video I shot back in December ‘04 when I was aboard an Air Deccan flight from Bangalore to Mumbai. Looked out my window and what did I see, A group of guys repairing the wing with some sort of muthafcukin’ duct tape. There’s some more repairs to the left of the one they are working on with what seems to be the same technique. Crossed my fingers, tossed back a shot of Black Label, and stayed on the flight.

Personally, it would take everything in my power not to run screaming from that plane. Though on further consideration the sheer embarrassment of being "the spaz in seat 14 that doesn't want to fly" would keep me from exiting... but I'd be white-knuckled and terrorizing myself with visions of what its like to plummet 30k feet from the sky for the the entire trip.

That doesn't seem to stop you from flying...

I don't generally see maintenance crews here in the states duct-taping things to wings of the planes I'm on. But ask my wife: I don't fly well either way.
