Curtiss Kittyhawk
Found abandoned on the Sahara, this Curtiss Kittyhawk P-40 is the next aircraft on our list. Back in 1942, this aircraft was forced to do an emergency landing, and it was only after a Polish Oil Company went wandering in the area – the Western Desert in Egypt, that it was brought back to the real world. Funny enough, this aircraft goes by a lot of names to include Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Gypsy Rose Lee, and Model 18. However, it depended on where you were located and the particular P-40 model you were referring to. This aircraft was also very active during World War II and was one of the top three in the US fighter war fleet.

M-17 Helicopter Abandoned At Everest Base Camp
You can find this M-17 Helicopter abandoned and rendered useless at the Everest Base Camp. It is a living reminder for those eager to climb the mountains that the conditions the top of the mountain presents you with may put you in positions you can’t control. It is a chopper based in Russia and was designed by Kazan Helicopters. Interestingly, the fleet is still in operation today as there are over 13,000 machines that have been made since the company’s inception. The chopper abandoned at this location was used for military transport and is considered one of the most intriguing abandoned aircraft on this list.
