727maxton34612sep05.jpg1474 viewsWhile I visit numerous major airports, I don't visit many remote, off the beaten path airports. This obscure 727-100 has been rotting for years in this airfield located in Laurinburg North Carolina, about 2 hours from Charlotte, where some airliners come for scrapping. If you have any info on this airplane please share in the comments section

N612UA was the second 767 to hit the World Trade Center on 9/11. Today news came out that part of its landing gear was found in-between two buildings near ground zero. May the victims rest in peace...
