Bear attack 2009.
Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up 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!

He flew the plane back. They do those sort of things in Alaska.

To anyone interested in Alsaka bush flying history dating to the 1930s - take a look at the website www.alaskabushpilot.org. Lots of aviation pics, bush pilot bio's, list of books on the subject, etc.

My husband always says you can fix anything with duct tape and WD-40. The pictures of the plane show that is right.Sandra
