This one is going around via e-mail and blogs, no idea what the original source is:
Bear attack on plane 2009 - Gutsy repairs
Checked the registration - '58 Piper PA18A-150. Registered 2003 to owner in Anchorage, AK.
Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up here 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.

And this is it, all pathced up. No doubt it's a fully FAA-approved alteration: :eek:
