Ed Skompski (VP hear at SI) had this story sent to him. Perhaps it’s even true…

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!   

(Here are pictures of the repair job)

Duct Tape? Never Leave Home Without It
