Proof you can fix anything with duct tape!




An Alaskan pilot posted these pictures and this story on a forum at ArmyParatrooper.org. According to the story, a charter pilot and his fishermen passengers left bait in his airplane during a trip into the Alaskan wilderness. After smelling the bait, a bear shredded the airplane. The pilot then radioed another pilot, asking him to bring plastic sheet, two tires and... wait for it... three cases of duct tape! He patched up the plane and flew it home.

I don't think that duct tape is on the MEL list of corrective actions. But hey, you have to do what you have to do.

Thanks for the pictures!

Duct tape and bailing wire can fix just about anything.

WOW! I thought you'd expect something like this on a Macgyver episode - this could make a killer ad campaign for any duct tape manufacturer :)

A crash can be a great learning experience if one survives. The greatest survivor of all was Richard Pearse who beat the Wright Bros in flying the first powered flights as I found at http://myamazingpeople.com/en/469/richard-pearse-beats-wright-brothers/
