charlielima Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Best duct tape story ever During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan bush, 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 ! CL Edited February 23, 2010 by charlielima Quote
+Muesli Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Duct tape, fixes everything! Dude must 've been a cousin of McGuyver! Quote
+JediMaster Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Actually, that looks more like a MacGruber job. Quote
+hgbn Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Think those guys maybe have seen to many Red/Green shows. Handymans corner Quote
+FastCargo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Anyone notice the gun case actually strapped to the wing strut? That's some funny stuff there...even markered the registration on the duct tape! "Ya gotta do what you gotta do"... FC Quote
ezlead Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 We used to call it "thousand mile 'n hour" tape in the Corps. You could get it in silver,brown or green. If you taped over the double or triple rivet seams on an F-4 wing,it would increase your speed from 900 something to at least "thousand miles 'n hour". Someone once said jokingly that they might have saved the Titanic if they would have had duct tape. Using duct tape on little airplanes has fixed a lot of things. This is about as major a fix as any I have seen. Quote
+DWCAce Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Speed tape is a bit different than regular duct tape, just works better! Quote
Slartibartfast Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) There are only 2 items required for a toolkit :- WD40 to make something that should move move... Duct Tape to make what shouldn't move not move... Its the only thing in my tool kit... Also you could judge how well an RAF Hercules would fly on the amount of Duct tape used... Duct tape its like the Force it has a dark side and a light side... Use the Ducttape Luke... Edited February 23, 2010 by Slartibartfast Quote
Nesher Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 is there anyone insane enough that's flying this plane? Quote
Slartibartfast Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 is there anyone insane enough that's flying this plane? Me... after seeing the insides of a few Hercules I would happily... provided I get the Rifle for the bears... Quote
