A bear chewed up a plane trying to get the food inside.
Bush pilots are a resourceful & gutsy breed!

Yummy plane! The repair looks pretty good to me - but I'm no aviator.

Re: Alaskan Bush Pilot Rebuilds Plane w/ Duct Tape
Wow the bear tried to eat the tires!
Very nice work,I'm guessing none of the internal structure was damaged.
It's going to be hell getting all that sticky goo off if they decide to do a real repair!
I wonder if these pics will get to the tape manufacture? I smell sponsorship!!

I don't know why you'd remove it. The repair looks pretty darned good. Just leave it as is. ;) Originally Posted by Cyclone03
