It's the usual story of a forwarded e-mail but let's face it, Duct tape rocks and even if it;s not true, it should be...

----------------------------------------

[b]Best duct tape story ever [/b]
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!

I particularly like how he's written the plane ID code on the side in the last picture 😉

Duct Tape rocks. Word.

It can't patch a punctured inner tube

Evidently doesn't stop you ignoring the most basic bear advice.

Duct tape can't sing!

About three other people would find that hilareous, but I doubt any of them read this forum.

a duct is a ventilation/heating pipe. duct tape was developed to repair these easily, although the designer also thought about how planes could be repaired after bear attacks. innit

I read this in somebodys profile once : -

"Duct tape is like the Force, It has a light side and a Dark side and holds the universe together!"

What a stupid bear. The doors on those planes don't have locks on them.

The local council chaps finally came and repaired the street light in front of our house after 3 weeks of me pestering them. Clearly they had no duct tape left.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough! 😀

Ahh, but can it not? He didn't get the duct tape until after the bear had eaten his plane. 😉

Wow. Does the pilot have shares in duct/duck tape? That plane wasn't fixed with the bit of tape he had wrapped round his pump in his camelbak was it?
I guess widely used to patch up light planes and all airstrips have boxes of the stuff. Either that or the remote alaskan fishing spots have B&Qs.

Duct tape is ace for holding riding gear together, after having one of those flying falls and hearing the sound of ripping fabric.

I'm a big fan of the stuff, but I'd like to see it try to bring about peace in the Middle East.

Duct tape engineering branches out into fashion. Brilliantly it comes with a "repair kit" which is a bit of... oh, you guessed.

funnily enough...

it [i][b]isn't[/b][/i] meant for repairing metal ductwork, you're meant to use metal tape for that.

so says Mike Holmes and he's the daddy on all things Homely related.
