I don't know if it's urban legend or not but I heard of a pilot who

crashed
in the Rockies. He survived the crash but was pinned in the wreckage. A
nice family of bears came along and ate him.


A Piper Arrow crashed 40 miles SE of here about 5 years ago. The crash site
is on top of some flat top mountains near Fort Smith, MT. The plane crash
was a CFIT so there wasn't a lot of damage to the plane but both occupants
killed. When the weather cleared a helicopter found the scene and chased
off a couple of Black bears. They had already started munching on the
nearest passneger. The plane is still up there. You can get to it with a
Cub or helicopter.
