Not Z related, but doesn't everyone love a good duct tape story?

During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered

pilot and a fisherman left a cooler-box full of bait in the plane.

Well a bear happen by and smelled it. This is what the bear did to the plane.

The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him

2 new tires,

3 cases of duct tape,

and a supply of sheet plastic.

He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!

Ahhh...duct tape, the handyman's secret weapon! I notice in the pics he is prepared for a possible return visit by the bear, keeping his rifle closeby. Very resourceful fellow. I guess you have to be in that environment.

Hey BooBoo...hows about we go get some picnic baskets?:classic:

Oh man, I'd like to see how he patched that tail. It looks pretty bad. Good job, though!

Wow, when you said "3 boxes of duct tape" I was thinking "jeez, how bad could it have been." I didn't realize he had to wrap the entire fuselage.

Nice body work.

If just shows you, with a BFH and some duct tape, man is capable of virtually anything he puts his mind to.
