I'm sure he'd most likely say that twine was better :-))


What, and discount the obvious implications that Duct Tape has on modern
thinking?

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 thought it was called 100 kt tape, but if it walks like a duct and
talks like a . . . .


I'll have another glass of wine now..

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?

That is because it isn't 1,500 MPH tape but rather Mach 2 tape!

The stuff they are using on the jets is a bit different than 200 mph tape.
It's kind of a thin but tough foil. It's actually legal for some repairs.
If you keep an eye out you might see it on the leading edge of a wing or
maybe holdin an oil door down on an engine where the fasteners have been
damaged.
It's good stuff and if ever I see a roll lying around it's in my flight
case faster'n you can say boo.,
