HaHa, I've got a GREAT story to tell but I can't for at least a few more years. Statue of limitations or something to that effect.

Happened in 1980 but I aint taking any chances.

You do realize that a lot of people on here can't remember 1980...

Do they make one of these statues with memory items on it as well?

A friend of mine posted these on another forum I watch. Two items: Don't piss off a family of Bears by parking in their place, and secondly - ALWAYS have access to large amounts of 200MPH tape if you are going to be involved in Aviation. I know that there was always a roll of duct tape and a couple gallons of oil in the back of the Waco's or Howard whenever we would go somewhere. For you newby's keep this in mind: Duct tape is magical - better than Shamwow even.

Bears tore this Super Cub apart:

And the miracle of speed tape!

That's why I'd love to hear the back-story. Something obviously pissed off the bears. I'm thinking if may have something to do with the color (ie red with a bull). Not sure. Either way it is a pretty expensive tantrum the bears threw.

Still, you'd think bears would be a little more tolerant of another cub

I was tossing around variations of that joke around in my mind since the beginning of this thread just to find that you had beaten me to it by the end of it. That's all right, yours was probably better anyway.

Oh man, can bears do some serious damage. There was an episode of MTV's "Pimp My Ride" where a girl actually had video of a bear attacking her car. They were camping, and the bear smelled the food in the car. The bear clawed all up and down the entire car, broke it, ripped apart the interior, took a dump inside the car... if she didn't have the video to prove it was a bear, I don't think it would have been believable, the damage was SO incredible.

Yes, especially with a young and willing cub!

It was probably something like this, but substituting a bear for a deer and a Super Cub with a wingmounted gun for a Pontiac GTO.

Ha! I'd say 50% weren't even born till after 1980. I was probably getting potty trained in '80.

A lot of the Bushwheel tires were getting torn up a few years ago because a dog was peeing on the tires at the factory.

Supposedly, they went fishing and left their catch in the plane. Someone just posted it on our door in our line shack. I'm too lazy to go and find what site it was from.

It was supercub.org.

Another fun fact: cows will lick & eat your plane, especially a fabric covered plane.

Also good to remember when choosing a landing field (glider wisdom here): if there is a field with just one cow standing in it, it's probably a bull, and is in there alone for a reason !
