Aviation: Vintage transports surviving on off-airport locations

The Aviation History and Photography website is a constantly growing database maintained by Ruud Leeuw. One of the site’s features we like most is about aircrafts which have survived on remote locations away from airports, as part of a restaurant, hotel or even a chicken coop. These survivors are easily overlooked.

Picture below: A DC-3, now used as a coffee shop at Shangrila Lake (Pakistan). About 30 years back, this plane had to make a forced landing in Indus River because of an engine trouble.
