This little animation of a pane crash is one of the strangest things…

Grizzly bears…..ya gotta love em.

Nah, too greasy for my taste. Even when properly marinated!

Paul Ash

Not even with a little sauce bear-naise?

But have the grizzly bears ever eaten the pilots along with the plane? What are the chances of being devoured by a bear while flying in alaska?

Paul Ash

History does not relate any specific incidents where both plane and pilot have been eaten. The chances of being eaten while actually flying are probably quite slim, as long as you always look under the seats before take-off. Crafty animals, bears.

An explorer called Bear Grills is just asking for trouble.

Remember the Red Green show? Duct tape- the handymans secret weapon!!

My friend, Judy, was the camp cook where this happened. She brought lots of pictures back and said they had “beary” season with lots of bruin visitors this year.

Paul Ash

Thanks, for the comment, Marti. It must be quite a thing having to live with these big guys hanging around all the time.

Not a Piper Cub, the aircraft is an Aeronca Champ.
And nobody else caught it???

Joe,

Look again. Note the shape of the rudder and vertical fin – sharper than the Champ. Also not the size shape and failure of the rear side window to extend past the trailing edge of the wing. Compare with the inserted link;

Other identifying evidence of the Cub I forgot to mention, is the lack of dihedral on the wing of the Cub, which is very evident on the Champ, and the difficult to see, but present flaps on the Cub. Finally, you can barely make out the “jugs” protruding through the left side of the engine cowl. The “Airknocker” had an absolutely smooth cowl over an enclosed engine.
