Airport tries to find owners of abandoned Boeing 727 passenger jet
The Vietnamese government is trying to figure out who abandoned a Boeing 727 at Hanoi’s Noi Bai airport.
“The plane has a Cambodian flag on its fuselage and is emblazoned with the name Air Dream, but the authorities say they have no information about the airline,” BBC News reports on its website.
The airplane has been sitting on the tarmac for more than six months, the broadcaster says.
Six months? SIX MONTHS? And no one noticed their plane was missing?
VietNamNet reports that there’s no record of Air Dream in the international registry of air carriers. This photo suggests that the plane was operated by Royal Khmer Airlines.
Umm….have they done a search of the plane? You know, for things like a dead body or two? Most folks don’t just walk off and leave a plane.
It’s not exactly like not being able to find your car in a parking lot filled with cars similar to yours. This is a LARGE plane. It’s not an “OOOPS, it’s in the next row” type thing!

if it was you… youd still lose it… and then if you did find it, you’d have to ask for directions to the sky..
That is pretty funny. How could anyone misplace a giant red airplane?
Maybe this is the airplane equivalent of leaving your junker on the side of the road instead of paying someone to haul it off to a scrapyard.
@ablur:
I’ve been known to get lost in a parking lot a time or two, when it was a BIG parking lot, but never for six months!
@HeatherRadish:
Ooo….there’s a thought. Hmmm…. I bet that junker would bring a few bucks, on eBay.
