Bush pilot loses battle with bear

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.
