If bears could fly-------
« on: December 26, 2009, 08:24:34 PM »
Pilots would be in BIG trouble.

I think a bear did more damage to this plane than a few 20mm shells would have!

The story I read about these pictures goes something like this:

These guys were on a fly in fishing trip somewhere north of bumfart Alaska.

They left a cooler with some bait in the plane.

Big mistake.









These guys radioed one of their buddies to fly them in a new set of tires , a roll of plastic and 3 cases of duct tape. (standard issue S.A.P.P. equipment) :salute





They put the gun back in its holster and flew home for a lovely fish dinner! :bolt:

I've read of much worse repairs...  One guy (Reeves) would repair minor tears/rips in his plane with cloth strips and water...  The water would freeze as solid and tight as the usual dope and paint repair, and he could keep flying without making a long term repair until the weather got above freezing a few months later.

Duct Tape fixes all problems! On Mythbusters they used 99 stripes of tape to lift a car off the ground for over 2 minutes before it broke! They also fixed a hole in a boat, and even made a WHOLE BOAT out of DUCT TAPE, and it worked! :eek:

How much would it suck to be stuck in the middle of nowhere because a bear ate your plane?
