Duct Taped Airplane

WHY WE WIN!

“ Bear attack 2009

Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up 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. Or stupid. ( Neither! just common up north sense! What other option did he have? That's why we call it "100 mile an hour tape". Have tested it myself and found that at a little over 100 mph it begins to fray a tad...especially on the top of the aircraft.

Commander Lieutenant Forsythe sent me several pictures and a story .. this story.  I was able to find it, and all the pictures, on the web.  While there are dozens of sites carrying the story, all are the same, and  none identify the pilot.  There be no question though about duct tape being used to repair a ripped apart airplane. 

BTW, Wasilla, home to RAK the Holster Boy, and Sarah the Palin, boasts of being the  "Duck Tape Capital of the WORLD!,"   Is there anything it can't do
Damned hard to unsnap that thing if you're her prom date?

    Yes, when we depart with a fishing party, we always stick the plastic fuel tanks
    in a barrel as the bears love
    to chew on them...same thing with the life vests.

    And when we leave for good in the fall, we bring the four wheeler's fat wheels with us...damn yogibears!

    "Is there anything it can't do?"

    It can't make Obama

    2) Give up his Marxist agenda.

    Thanks for the field promotion. Major Petty Officer Forsythe will enjoy the new rank of Commander Lieutenant. If my new rank allows a new assignment, may I request a special operations for the purpose of bringing all the CSMFers in DC to justice?

    We like the "Don't ask. Don't tell" policy here in Alaska. Unless it makes a good story with beer around the fire and then no one usually believes it anyway.
