In IT, we say FUBAR.

I've always known it as "beyond all recognition". Others are the famous SNAFU, and alsp FUBB ("beyond belief").

That seems more a thing for a service industry job, or one like mine with a lot of repetitive but irregular work.

With propeller driven aircraft, of the model variety in my case, it is referred to as deciding to do some last minute "post hole digging".

I have heard (but it may be true even so) that the US airforce occasionally have an unscheduled vertical landing.

RAF certainly get some unwanted publicity from time to time, that way.

Choppers are in a league of their own, though... I avoid them as far as possible. Whatever the next thing you hear on a crewboat is, "adopt the brace position" won't be it, and however seasick you might get, this time tomorrow you will be fine.
