Subscribe to American Eye goo.gl/GBphkv
11. Marshall Islands Underwater Plane
10. Thailand Airplane Graveyard
9. Abandoned Yugoslavian Air Base
8. Mojave Airport
7. Eerie Abandoned Hangar
6. Abandoned Navy Air Station
5. RAF Kittyhawk
A mysterious world war II aircraft was found in the middle of the Sahara desert in the country of Egypt in 2012. It was found nearly intact and the dry conditions of the Sahara allowed it to be well preserved. This is believed to be a P40 Kittyhawk fighter plane which is a single seat fighter plane used by the Americans from 1939 to 1945. It’s often featured with some type of artwork such as a shark's mouth but it’s believed to be one that the British had acquired from the US. The British would like to see it returned to their home soil in order for it to be on display at museum. However, Egypt claims that it doesn’t belong to them since it was never found on British soil. Plus the British have a ton of Egyptian artifacts on display at the British museum so we don’t see this one going their way.
4. Douglas Super DC-3
On the mysterious black sands of a beach in Iceland, lies a piece of an abandoned aircraft. On November 24, 1973 a US Navy airplane was forced to crash land on a remote beach, south of the capital, Reykjavik. It appears as though it’s remained untouched for over 40 years until a farmer came across it in 2014. All of the windows are smashed from the inside and both wings are missing. All the crew survived the crash and it seems to be a mystery why it was forced to crash land in the first place. Some believe it was from horrific weather conditions in the north atlantic. But this took place during the cold war, is it possible it was shot down by the Soviets? Others claim it just simply ran out of fuel, forcing them to land on Iceland. What you see here are some drone images for the plane from an aerial view and it’s kinda hard to even tell if it’s a plane or not.
3. Mexican Drug Plane
Imagine you were on vacation in Mexico and you stumbled upon an abandoned plane that had a white powdery cargo. There’s many rumors about this photo of a plane sunken have way into the sand and it’s hard to say exactly which story is the truth. However, some claim that it was discovered by tourists near Mexico and that the plane was struck by lightning or shot down by the mexican, causing something to malfunction. No bodies or survivors where found and believed they fled the scene so they wouldn’t get caught with a large quantity of contraband. You can imagine some people might be having a good weekend. What are your thoughts on this one? What ever true story may be, it certainly is a beautiful photo.
2. Soviet VVA-14
This abandoned prototype of a soviet vertical take off amphibious vehicle has left many people rather intrigued by the strange design. It was a promising design at first and would allow it to take off from the water, cruise at high altitudes and to destroy US submarines. The aircraft sits at a the Russian Federation Central Air Force museum in rusty condition to say the least. In 1974, it did manage to log in 107 flights with a 103 hours in the air. Here we see two pilots, aboard the aircraft, getting ready to take on this beast of engineering. However, it appeared as though the soviets were asking for a little too much out of this aircraft and the engines needed a serious upgrade before it could be ready for battle. Once the designer passed away in 1974, the project began to slow down and the upgrades were never made.
1.The Boneyard
If you’re a fan of abandoned aircraft or just aircraft in general and you take a trip to the Boneyard, it’ll be like you almost died and went to heaven. There are thousands of abandoned planes used by the Air Force. They also take advantage of the dry conditions of the American Southwest, in the city of Tuscon, Arizona, in order to keep the planes from severely. This is officially named as the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base where America stores excess military aircraft just in case world war 3 breaks out. This has also been a holding ground for aerospace vehicles as well and there’s an estimated 4000 aircraft either waiting to scrapped, storage, or to be reused. This is situated on 2600 acres of Arizona desert and it’s quite the interesting place to explore on google maps. Anything from fighters from World War II to heavy bombers used in the Vietnam war can all be found at this one spot. Some believe that there’s at one of every plane that the US has ever commissioned can be found here rotting away. Except probably the secret ones, they don’t want us to know about
>Talks about P-40 Warhawk
>Shows Supermarine Spitfire
Rrrrrr
So true i can see all British pilots turning in there sleep
Diesel Electric Razor how can you have that wrong lol
exactly, lol
Exactly. Frustrates me so much.
Not to mention that the P-40 Kittyhawk was only flown by the RAF desert air force and NOT the Americans. They flew the very same plane but under a different name - the Tomahawk - but US forces never fought in Egypt. Showing a photo of a Tomahawk in US markings is hence very misleading. Do your homework, folks!
"It's a P-40"

The Mojave airport is not abandoned. It is used as storage for large aircraft, as the desert environment preserves them. The airport is actually very active, and has a large desert area to store big planes..
that's called a mig, not a M I G aircraft.
He has the ekranoplan down as failed Russian high altitude aircraft too...
Not a high altitude aircraft for sure, but not the Ekranoplan either. That aircraft was the Bartini Beriev VVA-14. Italian designed, Russian built, and much smaller than the Ekranoplan. It had vertical takeoff capability and could actually fly, unlike the Ekranoplan which was a ground effect craft. The Bartini Beriev VVA-14 was also amphibious like the Ekranoplan.
it did not have vtol capabilities, it did have a ground effect ability like the ekranoplan but not vtol .
No. It is called MiG.
René van der Hart that’s what he said dumbass holy fuck
A Spitfire Mk.VB suddenly gets renamed and reshaped into a P40... Also, Americans, british, Russians, French, German cappturees and Japanese captured P40s. 'Super DC3?
'Rusty' aircraft??? I thought aircraft were built from aluminium... ! ;)
They are. This narrator need to go back to making fries for my burger.
jonesy97 while I'm sure that the narrator probably is part of the problem, the writers are the ones at fault here
Agreed. I only say this because this seems like a low-budget, self made/narrated production. Narrated by its creator.
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Kingsway Driving - Richard King ADI They are. Aluminium, or, for a slightly stronger aeroplane that's still lightweight, titanium.
The VVA 14 is not a VTOL it's not strictly an airplane but is in fact an ekranoplan , designed to to use ground effect to skim just a few feet above the surface of the water at high speed. You seriously need to do some proper research on subjects you obviously know nothing about before uploading videos .
Your so right, he insists it was for high altitude flight, the guy is a loon
@@stephenpersic3331 Me hearing high altitude: "Uh...no...way, way off, dude. I dont know where to begin correcting everything you're saying."
@4:06 you show a Supermarine Spitfire...? Then at 6:07 the Vertical takeoff aircraft??? are you nuts? That 'flew' in ground effect only. It skimmed at a high altitude of never more than 5ft....(FIVE FEET) ...That's when I quit watching anymore.......
obese1konobe the same time as a result of the most
It also flew at altitude
"This is belived to be a P-40 Kittyhawk"
*Pops out the freshest image of a Spitfire mk 5*
THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE THE P40E KITTYHAWK FIGHTERPLANE
*shows picture of a perfectly good spitfire
no, A p-40 d or e WAR HAWK. The kitty hawk was earlier .
It's great that Quagmire is getting some extra work.
Did you call Serbia and Croatia Baltic states? :D oh yeah, and then there was also a war between Russia and Ukraine somewhere in the Persian gulf, right?
Artem Holstov LOL i was thinking the same thing. I cant remeber any war while living there at that Time😂
Same remark from my side ...
Btw lloks author is not the only one making this mistake as Wikipedia mention explicitly
"[Balkan states] redirects here. It is not to be confused with Baltic states." ;-)
#3 couldn't have been struck by lightning cause all aircraft are designed to hanlde lightning strikes
Lamborghini Maniac Ethiopia is too poor to make proper planes.
True enough - but the Ethiopians managed to knock the shit out of Mussolini's army in 1940, didn't they? Credit where it's due.
Stephen Hooker No, they lost in 1940. They won in 1896 against Italy only because the French sold them modern weaponry.
Pedro Rios not always it is supposed to but not all do
Pedro Rios ik
Facility No. 9 is the Military Airport of Željava, the largest underground airport and the former base of the Yugoslav People's Army, on the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, near Bihać, more known as Bihać Airport. It has been in full function since 1968 to 1992 when it was destroyed by the activation of mines and explosives at the withdrawal of JNA and not NATO 1999
"This is believed to be the P40 Kittyhawk"
*proceeds to show a supermarine spitfire*
Could you please make a "Worst Amazing Abandoned Airplanes Videos" video?
Don't know if there will be eleven, but certainly there's one to get the ball rolling.......
I live in Tucson Arizona and I love the bone yard that place it is so awesome to see every time I pass there seeing so many old airplanes
ExtremeGamer I’m from Tucson too. I just passed the graveyard today.
you lucky basterds! im in Australia and we have nothing of the sorts. is anyone allowed to visit the 'boneyard'? if im ever in Arizona ill have to go there..
ExtremeGamer/YT fk history y kg we lfodo it p
No getting inside anymore..
#4 "It's kinda hard to tell if it's a plane or not." Uh. No it's not...
It was*
projekt89130 ssddd
at a distance looking that the side it looks like a weird bus but up close it undeniably a plane.
What do you think it is ?
4:46
Man, that Mojave graveyard is great. Wish I could take one of them.
that airplane you showed was a spitfire
ADD YOUR THUMBS DOWNS TO THIS VIDEO
Do a top 10 weirdest story's from ex-fast food workers video plz
Nicholas Ware odley specific
Nicholas, just go digging around in planet Dolan, they have that video.
BRO! Your videos are awesome because every day I am wondering what you will upload next! Good job!
American eye u r a great source of fun facts keep up the work we all appreciate it
When did it become popular to talk like a cartoon character and not pronounce "t"s?
Come to Yorkshire in the North of England and the letter T seems to have presence in the wrong places.
Sorry Mojave is not abandoned.
#5 it’s a spitfire used by the americans
There may have been a correction by the author of the video, but if not, I just wanted to let everyone know that Mojave Airport is not an abandoned Airport has stated in the video at 2:00. The Airport is alive and well and yes they do have a lot of stored aircraft some can be reactivated for service and some of them can't. I live about 30 miles away from this Airport and it is definitely an active Airport like any other.
the # 5 has a reference pic mistake.... the plane shown is the kitty hawk mentioned, but a picture of a spitfire is shown along with a few other kittyhawks.... someone slipped ;)
war hawk
USAF P-40 Kittyhawk/Warhawk, shows an image of the RAF Spitfire
My great grandpa flew p40s in North Africa for the RAF we still have his RAF wings
The vva 14 is not a vto plane, it's a ground effect plane.
Thought so too - it had Ekranoplan written all over it.. except for this 1d10T narrator ..Maybe its the "Em Eye Gee" VTOL..
this guy cant make proper research... seriously how can you confuse a P40 and a Spitfire????!!!! and its Mig and not M.I.G
Www.rfa:::/: has khmer
BliTZarD www.rfa.lkhmer
BliTZarD www.rfa/khmer
BliTZarD ...I think we knew what he was talking out just like we know what an asshole you can be!
At 4:05 you said it to be a P-40 and you show a pic of a Spitfire... Wtf
I cant believe this channel has over 900,000 viewers.
the boneyard is the coolest place you can even build your very own air force with those many planes
The aircraft @4.06 is a Supermarine Spitfire... not a Curtis P40 Warhawk.
You talk about a Curtis P-40 Kittyhawk but then show a photo of a Supermarine Spitfire?

"Used by the Americans from 1935 to 1945"
And Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Finland, France, Indonesia, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Soviet Union, Turkey and UK...
Honestly, I would love to visit these. I study aviation a lot.
69MaiBigButt69 .mp4 Yeah, didnt care to point it out. To many cancerous kids defending this youtuber.
69MaiBigButt69 .mp4 And, the guy Who made the vidéo would know Jack shit about Any of this.
Abandoned does not equal in museum display.
Bro, you've never heard of the Russian MIG jet fighters, really? It's not M I G, you say it as one word, MIG....come on now, it's called research....smmfh
Yes indeed as in "Migoyan"
Branon Fontaine
And the dumbfuck keeps saying rusty planes don't rust they don't use steel in their construction
Branon Fontaine why does it matter idiot
I love abandoned planes
The airport in Mojave is NOT abandoned despite your statement. Even the military graveyard is NOT abandoned as people work there every single day removing usable parts and components, as well as chopping up old air frames.
p40, then you proceed to show a spitfire instant thumbs down! that so easy to research, and the fact that you did that makes me want to puke
04:05 That's a Spitfire and no P-40.
It's a P-40! It's a Kittyhawk, which is the RAF's name for the later P-40's (early ones were "Tomahawk")
In USA they were called Warhawk, in the British Commonwealth they were called Tomahawk, later versions were called Kittyhawk. I had an uncle shot down over North Africa in a P-40 Tomahawk
It's a Spitfire
its a spitfire
Could you please do a video on the worst battles ever...or worst leaders ever? I'd really want to see that
thanks amerian eye
7:37 Lower right corner, the plane with downward slanted wings is a russian Tu-16 Light Bomber.
that was a good spot!
Looks dope
good spot. I thought that was a U2 at first
Did anyone cringe when he put a picture of a spitfire when he was talking about a p-40
Well actually laughed out loud.
Its so well documented i am surprised he got it so wrong
Yes
I died
I believe that half the planes on this list can be flown again if the right parts for them can be found.
Mojave Airport isn't abandoned. There are just a lot of dead planes parked near it.
At 4:07 of the video; that's a British Spitfire, not a P-40 Kitty Hawk.
We fucking know that. So many other people already stated that. Jesus Christ
Yep, that's what it is alright. P-40 KITTY HAWK! LMAO!
Its a Kittyhawk.....FFS!
it was a war hawk, kitty hawks were the first version of the P-40A but discontinued in 39, the war hawk with the bigger air intake was the plane shown.
6:50 gta san andreas airyard in las venturas... Lol
¨This is belived to be the Kitty hawk p40¨ Shows a pic of a spitfire LOL
Millions for a fighter jet... used in one war, then gets dusty in a desert.for parts..... good ole America!
WTF.... show a P40 and then a Spitfire while describing them as the same thing?
Larry Dennis - what?
its mig not M-I-G
Jack Wallace um yeah- I've never heard of an "em-eye-gee"
lol ikr
its like when people say L A N instead of LAN
Actually it's Mig
@@erikwagner6606 that's what jack said 👏👏👏
I was the pilot of the Albatross on the beach. #3 Read the first chapter of Escaping Cuba (free on amazon) and you will know the true story.
Really?
Today we’re going to be going over 5 military planes that’ve died.
Get your planes right!
Abandoned in the 30's, shows a hanger full of 1960-80's era fuselages. American "I don't do research and just make stupid vids with little basis in facts."
Hate in the person not the country
What
Very interesting video!
you guys are the best and please do more videos
Mig not M I G.
1:34 war broke out in the Baltic states??? Are you ok bro? There was no war in the Baltics after the collapse of Soviet Union. Learn history.
I'm lithuanian too, nice that you mentioned our country!
thanks for that video iBlali
"...A P-40 Kittyhawk."
*shows a Spitfire Mk. IIa*
what
I'll give you a tip
When searching for images type in P-40 and use and actual P-40
Also how does a Spitfire look anything like a P-40!?
Err, if you're going to be talking about a P-40 Kittyhawk then it is advisable that you SHOW a P-40 kittyhawk, and not a Spitfire.
the P40E the first pic you showed was a spitfire
Yeah fun video but you guys don't know much about aircraft. That is for sure
"Is it possible it was shot down by the Soviets somehow?" Sir, do you know where Iceland is located?
Get another narrator. Terrible off-putting voice. Stopped listening after about two minutes.
Very Interesting!

Hello from Tucson, Arizona. :)
AHHH! I NEED THE BLEACH! "This is believed to be a P-40" *shows a Spitfire*
Pretty cool that your #1 is the boneyard! I used to live right next door to it, in fact your google sweep passed right over my old house!
There is a crashed DC-3 in a small Alaska village I once taught in. It's really cool.
Marshall Islands planes are definitely the creepiest
A lot of excellent film footage and commentary.
I'm glad that I watched it with the sound off.
The subject of old airplanes is always of interest, but your focus on a given airplane is so brief and fleeting that the observer has little time to appreciate what you are trying to show. Therefore, what good have you done?
All planes are asome!✈️🛫🛬🛩🚁
To me five looks like a British spitfire that the British fell in love with
At the 4 minute mark, you are correct in identifying the P-40 Kittyhawk, but the susequent photo of an airborne aircraft is NOT a P-40. Just FYI
Awesome!!
The creepiest place for a plane to crash is American eye's house. Oh wait. It's happening😂
p40
*shows a fucking spitfire*
The Sólheimasandur plane crash in Iceland is a Navy C-117D aircraft. And was NOT discovered by a farmer in 2014. Hell, I went there in 1996. Lucky me.
Hell yes they mentioned the one in Arizona that I've been to, this is awesome to see Arizona being recognized for something
The mystery DC3 in Iceland is no bloody mystery. The pilot switched to the wrong tank and the plane bellylanded on the black sand, that is not mystical. Its sand you fool. It was never forgotten and not found by a farmer in 2014, it has been a fact and a go to object since 1974. The wings and the engines were salvaged by the US Marine in the following year. where do you find thease amateurs. Jeezzz.
"US Marine" Do you know his name?
That Russiam BV at number 2 is a GROUND EFFECT aircraft that "flies " at wave top height.It is the polar opposite of a high altitude aircraft ,if it were a high altitude aircraft it would be useless for sub hunting .
Exactly right.
