Default Bear Attack on Plane
An ode to Duct Tape


From the guncase on the struts to the plywood/nuts & bolts on the flaps, this pilot is clearly no stranger to DIY! PMC

Bear attack 2009

Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field in AK. He had not cleaned out the inside after a long fishing trip and the bear smelled it.

He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of cellophane delivered. Then went about repairing the plane so he could fly it home. Gutsy to say the least.

Good to see ya here. I was hoping it wasn't you I think he's safe to leave the ground, That's some of that 200mph duct tape. You need to loosen up and live a little
