[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 116913, member: 1776"] Couldn't he have cut off the excess and flown it 'as is' - as long as he repaired the horizontal stabilizer (rear)? Wings provide lift and motor provides thrust - the body doesn't do anything but contain the passenger and ice chests? Or am I missing something? I guess I'm the negative guy on this one. Pilots in alaskan wilderness don't live long making decisions like leaving bait in the plane while away. If the bear destroys radio, without a backup, he's there for awhile till someone comes looking for him - and that can take awhile. I know a couple of Alsakan pilots/guides who fly these planes - craziest guys I know. But to be an OLD alaskan pilot, he needs to be aware of most every situation. Kind of like the trappers of the early days. Anyway, cool story - hope the guy learned his lesson! :? [/QUOTE]
