‘Miss Piggy’ In Manitoba, Canada
On the shores of the Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada, you will find a town by the name of Churchill, otherwise known as “The Polar Bear Capital of the World”. Not only will you find plenty of polar bears here, but you’ll also find this Curtiss C-46, which has been sitting in this spot since November 1979. The plane got here because as it was taking off, one of its engines experienced a malfunction which caused the plane to crash. Everyone walked away from the scene, but the plane has stayed put and has been formally named ‘Miss Piggy.’

This Soviet Antonov An-2 In West Cork, Ireland
Though this plane has always had green paint on it, it’s also accumulated some thick layers of dark green moss over the decades of it sitting in West Cork in southern Ireland. This plane has an interesting story to tell, as it has had many lives. The plane originated in the Soviet Union yet somehow ended up in Ireland. It was stolen from its owners and was shown off in a few festivals across Ireland, but eventually, it ended up in Courtmacsherry where it sits now.
