Hey, don't knock duct tape( we called it speed tape G). Kept water out
of my wing tank in Vietnam (Bird Dog) years ago. .50 cal rounds do a nasty
job, even on self sealing tanks. :-)))))

What the hey, even with one tank, for 2 hours, I still could fly the
thing. And did, for about 2 weeks.
:-)))))))))

I used to call it 200 MPH tape, because that's about how fast they go in
NASCAR. Then I got to know a Master Chief that was serving on carriers,
working on Hornets.

Then he tells me they were using it in the first Gulf War, and on F-18's, at
that! Now I have to call it 1,500 MPH tape!

No doubt that they are still using it now, for much the same purposes, I'll
bet.

1,500 MPH tape just doesn't have the same ring. It doesn't roll off the
tongue as smoothly. g

Wonderful stuff, huh?
