Random Fact... Hmmm...

Duct tape has been used to repair helicopters!



Is there anything a little bit of Duct Tape can't fix? The silvery-gray tape has amassed a sterling reputation for being the most flexible repair material in the world.
The first iteration of the modern duct tape was invented in 1942 by Johnson & Johnson. It was originally used as a sealing tape for ammunition cases during World War II.
That's not the only military use. During the Vietnam War, duct tape was used to repair helicopter rotor blades. Soldiers also used duct tape to balance the rotor blades, even if they didn't need repair.
