Duct Tape saves a long walk
Permalink  
 

During a private fly-in fishing excursion into the
Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen
left a cooler with bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it.
This is what it did to the plane...
The pilot used his radio and had another pilot
bring him two new tires, three cases of duct tape,
and a supply of sheet plastic. He then patched
the plane together and FLEW IT HOME!
Duct tape -------- Never leave home without it..

Yup, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape, if it wont move and should, use WD40. A hammer might be useful too... maybe?

That's why it was called "Instant Airframe" in the RAAF, and it used to come in the same dark green colour as some of our aircraft.
