It's the usual story of a forwarded e-mail but let's face it, Duct tape rocks and even if it;s not true, it should be…

Best duct tape story ever
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!
I particularly like how he's written the plane ID code on the side in the last picture 😉
a duct is a ventilation/heating pipe. duct tape was developed to repair these easily, although the designer also thought about how planes could be repaired after bear attacks. innit
What a stupid bear. The doors on those planes don't have locks on them.
The local council chaps finally came and repaired the street light in front of our house after 3 weeks of me pestering them. Clearly they had no duct tape left.
Wow. Does the pilot have shares in duct/duck tape? That plane wasn't fixed with the bit of tape he had wrapped round his pump in his camelbak was it?
I guess widely used to patch up light planes and all airstrips have boxes of the stuff. Either that or the remote alaskan fishing spots have B&Qs.
