Iraq War Remains In Al-Qaim, Iraq

Most of the crashes of military planes are from the World War II time, but this one is much more recent, as it is from the Iraq War. It is a plane that was shot down by the American military in Al-Qaim, a city that sits on the border between Iraq and Syria. At the beginning of the Iraq War, this area was home to a lot of fighting, and this plane crashed right in the middle of the Al-Anbar Desert.

This Abandoned 967 Hawker Siddeley In Belfast, Northern Ireland

This plane is not sitting somewhere rotting away in a forest, but actually, it’s still at the Belfast International Airport not so far away from the planes that are still in use. The plane is completely abandoned and has been left here to deconstruct over time. This former British Airways plane still dons its bright blue paint even though it’s been left untouched for multiple decades, but it’s now covered in a big layer of moss thanks to the frequency of the rain in Northern Ireland.
