Abandoned In A Remote Area
If a drone had not flown over this region, then it is possible we would have never known that this aircraft was left abandoned in this area. Situated on an airfield in Bryson City, NC, this abandoned aircraft became a Sossamon Airfield. Bryson City is one of the most beautifully surrounded regions in North Carolina. It sits between the Nantahala National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park close to the Fontina Lake’s Egress Rivers. Not many people traverse through this area daily, but as no popular roads are going through it. Interestingly, if you happen to reach this area, you deliberately wanted to visit this region.

Douglas DC-3, Zeljava Air Base
You will find this abandoned Douglas DC-3 in the Zeljava Air Base on the Bosnian and Croatian border. Based on the history of aircraft, the Douglas DC-3 has a position of its own when designed, it changed the whole aircraft industry and what people knew it to be. Designed as a cargo/transport aircraft, it took things to another level with carrying around 21-32 passengers and up to 6,000 pounds while going for lengths up to 1,500 miles. This was never an option in the previous aircraft that were in the industry. The production of this DC-3 came to a halt in 1942 but, not too surprisingly, there are possibly thousands that are still in operation today. As you see, however, this one has completely gone to waste.
