During a private fly-in fishing excursion into the Alaskan wilderness, the
chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler with bait in the plane.

A bear smelled it.

This is what the bear 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...

An oldie...........this has done the rounds on the web for a couple of years now.

I'm pretty sure it was not a koala.

It occurred early in 2009, so it's been about for a couple of years now:

For a better Australian story, there's a bar in Alice Springs with a story on the wall about a guy who made a forced landing in the desert to the south. He repaired the aircraft with tools on hand, including wiring an axe handle to the broken propeller to balance it (! :eek: ) and filling the burst tyres with sand - and then flew it out to the nearest road! :bored: :D
