Probably came from the same pen as the jet fuel spilled on the WWII
carrier decks in "Flyboys".

The Japanese called the B-29 the bee nee koo (phonetic spelling). I
believe that's simply B Two Nine. In any event, I have been given to
understand it's almost a term of affection, though perhaps awe would
be a better word.
