My dad sent this to me in an email, so I'm not sure if it's actually a true account or not, but it is entertaining...
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 !

Holy Ducttape batman!!
Hey Stacy I am glad you clicked over to my blog. Im back after the blog was down for about a year or so. I used to link to your (old) blog Sassy pants and I will sure link to this blog. I love your random thoughts!
Hahaha! That is just crazy! I'd call for a ride home and call it good!
Duct Tape is a miracle!
Gotta love duct tape!
I believe it. My friend was a forest ranger at a national park. Every day he saw the raw power of bears. He also wanted to kill the people who walked up to the bears and tried to feed them or pet them. Um, hello, it's a wild animal...
Holy crap! My husband is gonna LOVE this post! lol
That just verifies what I've always believed: DUCT TAPE RULES!
Here this Ozarks farm chick thought I'd used duct tape in every way. As a Special Ed instructor I used to keep a roll sittin' on my desk at all times as a joke! Heeeheehe! This use has just amazed me.
From the hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa, ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day!!!
Gotta love duct tape and bears are definitely able to do that kinda damage! Thanks for stopping by to see me!
Oooooh that was a silly thing to do in bear country, but that's a beautiful repair job!

OMG, that is amazing. But I wouldn't want to fly that plane not knowing if the duct tape did the trick..
