Bear Attacks Airplane (the ultimate duct tape repair)

I got these series of pictures from someone I know who makes his living fishing for salmon in Alaska. As he says in his note:

> The attachments take you to some photos of everyday Alaska life. I have many times flown in planes patched up with duct tape - no big deal, happens all the time Ordinary. Perhaps not to this extent..... Enjoy.

 

And she's good to go. Who knew that duct tape could do this?

Here is the story:

 

Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up here 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.  In Alaska duct tape rules!
