Fishermen Love Duct Tape

This story comes from Alaska.  Author unknown.  A chartered Alaskan pilot was taking a fisherman on a fishing trip and they left the bait in the cooler in the back of the airplane.  Evidently, a bear got a whiff of it and decided to eat the bait.  Airplanes like this are skinned with fabric that has been hardened by polymers.  The airplanes skin proved to be no match for the bears claws and teeth.  The plane was destroyed by the bear in just a little while.   The pilot called a friend of his and had him bring a couple of new tires, a few cases of duct tape and plastic sheeting.  He repaired his airplane and flew it back home safely.   Hope you enjoy....
