I think they may want to fix that before they fly again.

—” An Alaska bush pilot pretty much covered his plane with duct tape after a crash;”
Photos of a neat repair.

That plane is probably 30+ years old. DHL probably ignored FAA requirements to inspect the plane for corroded rivets and other mechanical stress issues.
Pretty cool, huh? Love those Piper bush planes.
My dad was a Maintenance Chief when he retired in 1976. He called the tape they used to temporarily repair stuff, “hundred mile an hour tape.”
My dad called it 500 mph tape - flew faster planes. :)
They mentioned a hydraulic failure and thus returned. I wonder if they had brakes or perhaps a brake failure on one side.

My climbing buddies did an Alaska fly in climb; some of us were gainfully employed and did not attend.
Getting into the aircraft they spotted a few bags of dog food and ask where is the dog?
...The pilot used to carry chocolate, energy bars, jerky... for emergency food but too often consumed some for a snack.
Another pilot told him to sample different dry dog food and stock up on the least objectionable brand.
No more in flight snacks.

Laugh? I thought I'd plotz!
Curious if they announce the age of that aircraft. When did they start flying 757 planes.
