Duct Tape? Never Leave Home Without It

[bobbysocks]

for some reason it wont let me size these pics...so hope they are ok or some one else can.
During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the
Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he 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!

Been posted before Bobby
but I think we all agreed that's alot of duct tape to be carrying around 'just in case'

You never know when your light aircraft is going to be attacked by a bear...

Yes Mam, i flew home in a Plane composed of ....Tape...?!
That might be an adventure to you!

Does the FAA really allow duct tape planes to fly?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well, in the South it's actually required

WOW, so some duct tape, tubing, and a big fan, and I have my F4U without having to spend all those millions. Cool. Wait, the extension cord...

I've seen it used on fighters ,to seal a panel from moisture temporarily
