See it here.
I have to admit I’ve not seen this in person. It’s out in Bang Kapi district, pretty far on the edge of the city. Might be worth a trip.
This wouldn’t be the missing MH370, I assume. That was a 777, wunnit?
Oh, you found it. Thanks.
I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I parked the thing. I really need to learn to stay away from the jello shots.
And the plane had just planned on going into that bar for a few minutes, maybe have one drink…

I’ve been on that beach and if you look closely you can see the parked Lockheed Tristar, from the beach it looks like it is right off the shore in the trees. Looks like something out of LOST, funny enough I didn’t know it was there and first went right after the missing jet hit the news 
The pilot left it outside for just a minute to run into the store, comes back out to find his ride up on blocks, the radio gone, the seats slashed …
This being Bangkok, it wouldn’t surprise me if an abandoned space shuttle turned up.
Oh, to hear the Bangkok equivalent of that 9-1-1 call.
9-1-1. What’s your emergency?
There’s an abandoned airplane at this location.
You mean an abandoned car.
No, an airplane.
I’d be tempted to hang up, thinking I had a stoner on the line.
I showed this to the wife, and she says she passed it in a taxi just a couple of days ago. She’s been out doing fieldwork for a project these past couple of weeks, and her work took her to that area. So it really is there.
More things to do with an abandoned airplane!
Fighter aircraft, past its prime, at gas station. In or near Caruthers, small town near Fresno Ca.
Old jet in Larsen Park, San Francisco. Old fighter jet repurposed as playground equipment. Kids used to climb all over it. Eventually got fenced off. Awww, poor lawyers scaredy of a little potential liability? Long gone now. But I saw a note somewhere that they’re putting in a new all fake playground equipment there that looks like a jet! How fake is that?
BEST OF ALL: This Man Lives In An Abandoned Boeing 727 Plane In The Middle Of The Woods. What it says. Lots of kewl photos!
I grew up in a military town in Southern California and we had an old F89 Scorpion on our playground. You can tell kids from that neighborhood by the distinctive scars on the back of our thighs from the rivets cutting us as we slid off the fuselage to the ground.
Best playground equipment EVER.
it’s going to take a while for the crew to make enough trips with gas cans.
I’ve seen it a few times, I wonder if it’s home to a band of feral children waiting for Captain Walker?
More likely a blowjob bar, given what **Sam **has told us about his city.
I remember that Cabin John Park in MD had an old fighter jet that one could crawl into. Google search says it was an FJ-1 Furyand that matches my memory of crawling into the tail and out the intake at the nose.
The mall full of fish is also interesting.
Dopers live in such …interesting places. 
That’s one of my more whimsical dreams - to turn a 747 shell into a home that I could live and entertain in. It’s be nice if that home could still fly of course, but alas even my dreams recognize that that steps a little beyond my budget!
Thanks for pointing that out. Didn’t know. That’s the old New World shopping mall. Back in the 1980s, it was a major attraction. But like it says in the link, they built it higher than they’d been given permission for and had to knock some floors off the top. Mistakes were made, people got killed in the process, and it was finally abandoned. Back when they still had a few more floors, there was a decent food court on the top one with a nice view of the river not too far away.
Missed the edit window. The link mentions it’s been abandoned for about 20 years. Maybe not quite. I know it was still operating in 1994 and '95. I’d say it closed about 1996 or even 1997 as memory serves.
There are a few planes like this around the world. Anyone know where I can find a more or less complete list of them? Would be interesting to visit a few of the best ones. Could be one right around the corner and you might not even know it was there.
