BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Plane abandoned at Hanoi airport

Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing 727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport.

The plane was flown in from Siem Reap in neighbouring Cambodia in late 2007 and has been unclaimed ever since.

An airport official told the BBC that they believe the owners could be an airline based in Cambodia.

The official said that if it remains unclaimed, the plane will have to be sent for scrap.

Somebody flew an old passenger liner--maybe a DC-6?--into Denver's Stapleton airport back in the 1980s and just parked it. There was mud all over the bottom, and the suspicion was that it had been used to ferry drugs from South America, landing in a remote strip somewhere in the U.S., and then used by the crew to get back to the city.
