50 Incredible, Forgotten & Isolated Aircraft

World Airways DC-10

world_airways_dc-10

This abandoned World Airways DC-10 plane sits on its tail because of wet volcanic ash. The plane flew through the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption, and is now abandoned forever. The large and robust air frame is what the currently-in-service KC-10 Extender was built off of. Although it seems quite stuck in its current position – a brace has been placed underneath the nose in case it come swinging down. There must be some parts worth saving left on the abandoned aircraft!
