Bill Radke: With so many people looking for work,we continue to report on jobs you may or may not want.

This morning: bush pilot. A South African web journal called Extreme Travel brings us photos of a 1958 Piper Cub that smelled too much like the fish the pilot was catching. Apparently, a contest between lightweight aircraft fabric and grizzly bear claws is no contest at all -- the plane was completely un-flyable.

So the pilot radioed for three cases of... duct tape.
