The Abandoned Plane - A UAE mystery

 

Never stop exploring, and you may just find an abandoned plane at the old Umm Al Quwain airfield. Stopped here on the way back from Jebel Jais in October 2017.

The Abandoned Plane

One of the stranger sights in the UAE - the abandoned plane near the old Umm Al Quqain airfield.

The Story

... isn't so clear. It's an Ilyushin IL 76 and landed in 1999.

Exploring

It's a great place to explore and get some photos though.
