C-47 Cargo Aircraft, Canada
This abandoned C-47 cargo plane has a rich history and one that will leave you amazed after hearing it. The story involves a pilot being forced to down this aircraft as it was in operation at -40 degrees. That sure must have been a terrible and exhausting feeling and a possible hard task to maneuver an aircraft under such circumstances. One of the good things about this abandoned aircraft is that the mountain it lies on is close to a major town. As such, it allows tourists to be able to visit and indulge a little in some intriguing history. The pilot had to hike his way to the road from the mountains to get some medical attention.

Soviet Ilyushin II-76 Cargo Plane
Here we have a Soviet Ilyushin II-76 Cargo Plane abandoned in a desert found in Umm Al Quwain. This aircraft is a four-engine turbofan machine that serves a myriad of purposes. Designed by Societ Union’s Ilyushin Design Bureau, the aircraft was initially created in 1967 to serve as a commercial freighter. It was made to lift heavy loads and other objects such as transporting machines and more into deep rural areas or remote communities. We can just imagine the pilots who got a chance to operate such a powerful machine as this yet look at it now – abandoned and left out of the action.
