    Mystery 727 Abandoned at Vietnam Airport

    Plane abandoned at Hanoi airport

    Officials say the plane could belong to a Cambodian airline

    Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing 727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport.

    The plane was flown in from Siem Reap in neighbouring Cambodia in late 2007 and has been unclaimed ever since.

    An airport official told the BBC that they believe the owners could be an airline based in Cambodia. [Full Article]

    First thing that popped into my head was that 72 that went missing in Africa a few years ago, but a discussion on another site has confirmed this is not it, though curiously they are both ex-AA birds with only one digit missing from their old registrations... this one was N848AA, and I think the African one was N844AA.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
