There are still many DC-3s around the world, but the peculiarity (and mystery) of this particular aircraft is that it was abandoned in 1966 in a place that was almost inaccessible due to the abundant undergrowth in the area<\/strong>. For years there have been many theories as to how that plane got there. Some claim it belonged to Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.<\/p>\n

The website Transponder 1200<\/a> noted a few months ago that the plane had US registration N28343, and that it crashed there on August 17, 1966<\/strong> , during a smuggling flight: \"two tons of contraband were seized inside the aircraft, which was seized by the military.\"<\/em> In 2019, GL Drone<\/a> posted this video showing drone footage of the plane:<\/strong><\/p>\n
