DURING DESCENT THE CREW FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT 30,000 FT AND .73 MACH FOLLOWED BY A LOUD POP AND SLIGHT YAW OF THE AIRCRAFT.   ATC WAS NOTIFIED AND THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO CHICAGO MIDWAY AIRPORT (MDW).  DURING THE POST FLIGHT WALK AROUND OF THE AIRCRAFT THE CREW FOUND THAT BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER COWLING ON THE RIGHT ENGINE WERE MISSING AND THAT THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT STABILIZER, ELEVATOR, AND TRIM TAB.
