Until scientists come up with the type of matter transporters which are used to move people from one place to the other in science fiction, planes will remain the fastest and most efficient way to travel long distances in short spaces of time. All of the world’s major cities have airports, offering flights from one side of the world to another. Not all planes end their lives in an airport hanger though - some of them land in strange locations, before becoming the type of abandoned curiosity you’re about to see in this video.

Swamp Ghost 👻 is fortunately NOT the only intact B-17 flying fortress left in the world. There are not many, but yet a few remain airworthy. And there are some nice examples on static display.
I don't know who wrote the script for this post, but their lack of knowledge and facts is probably the most amazing thing about this whole 'incredible' story.

They said seven seventy seven
Couldn't have said it better myself. " The Boeing 747 was the pride of their fleet."
Very next sentence... "Aristotle Onassis himself ordered the Airbus..."
..... What...???
I just want to see what they look like
The B-17 in the video that is shown running is the "Movie Memphis Belle" who still flies today. Operated by the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo NY. There are several other B-17's still flying too.
Airbus. That’s a 747 sir.
Ok so if that’s the last B-17 then I musta been drugged many times cuz I’ve seen a few.... hmmm musta ran into Cosby...
"Only intact B-17 In the world"
Yooouuu wanna try that again?
Just like when he called the Olympic Airlines 747 an Airbus I think he mispoke and meant to say the only intact complete B-17E variant left in the world. I believe all the remaining intact B-17s in the world in museums and flying are all of the F and G variants. I don't believe there is a E variant anywhere on display. So that may be what he meant to say. Its Definately NOT the only B-17 left.
I am surprised he didn't say the B-17 was jet powered considering all the other errors he made in the vid.
@@azltablet0739, there are four surviving B-17Es... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortresses
this is from Wiki. "After retrieval of Swamp Ghost, this became the only remaining wreck on land.[47]" maybe that is what he wanted to say...
well he aint wrong any more...
Incorrect info @13:45 There is a fully intact and restored B-17 Fortress at the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio.
Swamp Ghost is the only surviving B-17 modification E. But these videos are made by people with the horizons of journalists. Missed one letter, the meaning has changed.
Yes the The Memphis Belle it’s looks brand new
The only intact B-17 IN THE WORLD? I live next to a Commemorative Air Force unit in Mesa, Az and get to see a B-17 actually flying overhead pretty often.
none restored b-17
@@onecanadianchip it's hardly intact
Yeah I had to post something on that too because I know I've personally seen two of them here in Southern California
@@onecanadianchip I have personally seen a B-17 flying around Southern California here it's an awesome sight but it is definitely intact and flying
I think he meant to say b17 E model.
6:38 did you call a Boeing 747-200 an Airbus, like the French Airplane company?
Its spanish i think
The term Airbus was used to describe a service or aircraft before the Airbus company existed
That’s not the only b-17 in the world I have been in one not to mention see it take off and it was in perfect working order
Correct. There are several flying B-17's of later design. It's also not the only being restored. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortresses
Two words: Memphis Belle. There are plenty of others, but come on. This is the problem with free content.
Yeah, like what? I’ve seen Sally B flying at least 3 times now, usually displays at Duxford in the UK during the air shows there.
Some good footage badly researched facts.
As of October 2018 there were 9 operating B17 flying fortresses in existence, key word OPERATING that doesn’t include restored planes in museums or in private hands or non restored condition. 47 exist around the world of which 11 are air worthy and 40 exist in the United States.
There is a B17 less than 30 miles away from here called Sally B and in flying order, I believe it featured in the 1990s film "The Memphis Belle". It as Duxford aviation museum in the UK.
I've been inside that very Shackleton at long marston back in the early 90's. Back then there were plenty of other planes and helicopters there in various states of repair. There are posts about it and a few of the other rotting planes on 28 days later forums if anyone's interested.
9:23 I saw this plane when I lived in Dubai
Yes we see this all the time mistakes made even on the Science Channel or History Channel
That should say Grumman TBM Avenger
It would seem that I am not immune
6:35 YOU DARE TO CALL A B 747/200 AN AIRBUS.
HOW DARE YOU!
OH SHOOT
THE BOEING FBI IS COMING

The 777 “in the jungle” is not a crashed plane. It’s flying and the satellite just caught it.
No
Yes
No
Yes
No
I love airplane archeology,its fascinating,wasn't aware of that Sturmovik at the beginning,gonna have to research it.
i flew in a b17 at sun n fun 2017 it is not the last intact b17 there are many flying
You beat me to it ,
Not to mention the numbers of them in museums
I'm envious of you!
How about that one that crashed recently, bad deal.
You flew..?
Unmanned Aviation I wouldn’t say many but there are a few flying more in museums
Cambodian jungle plane is just a photo artifact, just a plane flying just there when the picture was taken.
collomps indeed
Lol "google experts"
I thought the wings looked like they had too much sweep to be a 777.
so no one is going to talk about the fact he called a 747 an *airbus?*
Well, I’m reporting him lol
Also he stated that the Shackleton still has its resignation number, I think he meant its registration number, haha!!!
Shackletons were never used as "troop transports" either. Only Maritime Patrol and AEW.
This guy doesnt kniw much
That is a crime :0
Wait a minute there is no way that Swamp Ghost is the only "intact" B-17 Flying Fortress left in the world.
It’s not. The Collings foundation has a flying one and there are others including the Memphis Belle
Exactly why do we watch thees videos
@@funker419 Memphis Belle isn't airwirthy its on static display . There is a UK B17 "Sally B" that has Memphis Belle on one side as it was used to portray memphis Belle in some parts of that film
Jenny Davis Swamp Ghost won’t be airworthy either, it’s not talking about airworthiness in the video, it’s falsely stating that Swamp Ghost is the only one that exists.
@@501ststudios7 I wasn't talking about Swamp ghost i was replying to Funker who said Collins foundation had another flying B17 plus there are others like Memphis Belle implying Memphis Belle is airworthy where it isn't
"*Boeing Seven Seven Seven*"
Me: It's Tripple Seven
To the Be 12 matter: The flying boat on the pedestal was the piston-engined precedessor Be-6
B17 not 12
B17 in Great shape @ air museum in Arizona - Plus I have seen 2 B17 flying over head -
The "Be-12" on the pedestal that they mention and is also in the thumbnail is actually an older model known as the Be-6. The Be-6 has stubbier engines and no protrusion coming from the nose.
This gate guard isn't a Be-12 with turbo prop but a Be-6 with radial engine.
jasta fan yesss
A statement like that he made on the B17 needs to be properly quantified...
I’ve flown in a B17, and see one at least once a year flying overhead here in New York.
Even if he means that this is the last intact B17 E, it’s in pieces...
I believe this video is an example of the best way to get a good and correct response on the internet: Do not post a question, nobody cares. Post incorrect information! Don't worry EVERYONE and their brother will correct you!.
*Do not blame the narrators; they're underpaid and poorly educated usually from rural America. Please do understand* czcams.com/video/cRqVgGomU7E/video.html
0:46 “When they do show up, they can be in the most expected locations.” Something tells me this narrator is an AI, not passing the Turing Test very well.
It was a nice video. There are actually a few B-17s that are still flying though.
Agree. Plus isn't there a B17 at a air museum in Los Angeles area waiting for funding and restoration
But not original, intact. All have had restoration work ✈✈✈
The original Memphis belle has recently been reworked as well. Not sure of plans to airworthy her though
@@tickerim They are working on a B-17 near the airport in Salem, Oregon (where i live).
Biggus Dikkus isn’t she at the Air and Space Museum?
There is a B-29 at the bottom of Lake Mead that was finally reached when the water level dropped in the 2014 - 2017 drought. It's in pretty good shape. But under 133 feet of water.
In Fallout: New Vegas, there was a sidequest that featured it
I believe that Parks and Wildlife or whatever the administration is called there have announced their intention to never allow it to be recovered. Instead they will “monitor” it . Probably until it turns into grey muck. They sound like fuckwits of the highest order to me !!????
I can finally watch these, since we can’t fly!
Half-submerged cargo plane in Norman's Cay is substantially more interesting than many of these.
Nice one @ "last B17 in the world".
Research is overrated.
The Avro Shackleton has RESIGNATION number? I hope it got another job after resigning!
1) the 747 is a boeing aircraft not airbus
2) there are plenty of surviving B-17s still left in the world, some still flying
Get your info right before you post mate
It bothered me too🤣
I've been lucky enough to see them flying at airshow..incredible planes..wish Americans valued their history better!
Swamp Ghost is the only surviving B-17 modification E. But these videos are made by people with the horizons of journalists. Missed one letter, the meaning has changed.
Memphis Belle is one such B-17. I've seen it in person at the Geneseo Warbirds Airshow in NY.
@@userTJ39780 THats the movie one thats been around since the movie. THe original she was almost scrapped but has been under restoration for years.
The errors in your video are diabolical! I suggest doing your research before posting in future.
I just found out Boeings are made by Airbus!
This guy says aluminum plans are rusting away
I assume the ICA wants you to kill him, 47?
Black thunder it's plane not plans
*Do not blame the narrators; they're underpaid and poorly educated usually from rural America. Please do understand* czcams.com/video/cRqVgGomU7E/video.html
yeah.. it's not the last B17, as i've flown in TWO of them still in the air, Aluminum Overcast and the Memphis Belle (movie version). so.. yeah... no..
Swamp Ghost is not intact and it’s not the only intact B-17. But the narrator sounds so confident it must be true.
There are at least 37 and of those at least 4 are airworthy.
On 4:45 - it is not BE-12 on the pedestal. It's the BE-6, the older one
They should restore it
5:28 Resignation Number??? Oddly fitting but incorrect.
Unfortunately, the planes at Hellinikon X Airport were canned three months ago. The investors and the Greek state were not interested in saving a piece of its glorious history
The 747 in Greece is not an Airbus. Boeing made that.
I don't know who wrote the script for this post, but their lack of knowledge and facts is probably the most amazing thing about this whole 'incredible' story.
Watch the Nova program, "B-29: Frozen in Time." Absolutely amazing attempt to rebuild a B-29 abandoned for 50 years on frozen tundra, with results poignant in more ways than one. The attempt to restore it to flight worthiness was successful, but beyond that, all I can say is, no spoilers here. Just watch it. Thank me later.
That photo supposedly showing a plane like the Boeing 777 that MH370 was using it obviously not not MH370. The plane would be in small pieces because it would have been torn apart by the trees.
probably a plane that was flying over at the time of the picture.
The shape of it looks more like a 727, the wings look to far back and to much of a sweep to them.
Too many errors in the narration. Best that you try a little research before try again.
this is standard for such videos. it doesn’t matter who makes them. American, Russian or German, etc., etc.
*Do not blame the narrators; they're underpaid and poorly educated usually from rural America. Please do understand* czcams.com/video/cRqVgGomU7E/video.html
The only intact B-17 flying fortress in the world? I think IWM Duxford would like to have a word with you about that ;)
Michael Webb
*memphis bell would like for you to reconsider that*
this was the biggest WTF moment in this video... wow
@@minnesotangaming8966 Memphis Belle at least the original one isn't flying . Sally B based at IWM Duxford (not owned by IWM) has Memphis Belle on one side as it was used as a Memphis stand in during the movie
Very poorly researched, there are many surviving B-17's, and many of them still flying - the video even showed one of them, renamed years ago as Memphis Belle. Why are you calling a Boeing 747 an Airbus - in almost the same sentence???
Piano by David A. Moody there’s a b-17 in Galveston Texas that flys around
There are 47 surviving b17s
Piano by David A. Moody i think he might mean all original
"This here is the only intact B-17 in the _world_ ... that is in pieces" This according to "Amazing Crock" productions. Well, technically - he may actually have that right. sheesh
I have watched a B17 flying at Duxford Airfield in the UK so Swamp Ghost is NOT the only intact B17.
Henry Bowden - That would be ‘Sally B’.
4:17 looks just like the hangars in DayZ i just realized O.o Cool video btw
There is a flying fully restored B-17 in Palm Springs air museum, flying several times a year over the area , and civilians can purchase a ticket for 99.00 dollars for these special events, I’ll be doing it this winter
Cost me $450 to fly in the Collings Foundation B-17 old 909 in June of 2018. Worth every penny.
I've actually been ON that Shackleton. Walked the wings and been inside as well. We were working at 'Global Gathering' at Long Marsden Airfield. There was a Gloster Meteor as well and another couple of classic old fighter jets, I think there may have been a Vampire there as well...
7:02 they will probably use the planes to attract tourists
I live there i walk be the airport every day from kid i always wanted to go inside the plane there are 2 more planes 5 in total and i don't know about this maybe they will make museum or something
This cringes every single aviation enthusiast ever.
He isnt an enthusiast, an enthusiast doesnt get basic info wrong
Meh. I don't really care to be honest.
6:40 and he said "Airbus" just like how the news said "Airbus" to refer a 767.
including me!
Infinite Flight JPC my dad is a ligit private pilot, he about had a stroke.
Ditto on existing B-17's. At last count there were 11 airworthy b-17s still chugging. I flew in one about 2 years ago named the Madras Maiden
13:48 I laughed at that
The Lone Star Flight Museum
11551 Aerospace Avenue
Houston, TX 77034 You can buy a ride on a B 17 in Houston.
24602400
That can’t possibly be! Because the only intact B17 is laying in a pile on a hanger floor😂👊
The "be12" on the pedestal is actually a be6 and not a be12
Bat Thank you! I have only seen b17/747 comments so far....
@@oOPrinzValiumOo haha, i know right, peoples are trying to correct the guy's huge mistakes but they do worse
yeah, those aint turboprop engines
You need a research team, there are a number of B-17s still actually flying today.
I rode in old 909, a B-17 bomber, last June 2018 belonging to the Collings Foundation. It was delightfully noisy, vibrated, was windy, and it filled with the delightful aroma of smoke and aviation fuel when they started the engines. My friend took a selfie out of the top turret at 160mph, a place where many cell phones are sucked out of hands and lost forever on many flights. It was worth the price.
@@kimmer6
Oh wow, I'll bet that was awesome!
@@CaptRich-bi3gp Another dream fulfilled...... In November 1982, Jet and Piston Ace Bob Love flew me in his P-51 D Mustang from Livermore to Stockton, Calif to watch a restored B-25 make its first flight. On the way home he bent that thing around the checkered water tower at Stockton to give the ground people a thrill. Wow, I rode in a Mustang TWICE in one day. Still a fresh memory after all these years.
So the B17 "Sally B" that was in Denmark for less than a week ago, doesn't exist?
Nope🤣 u heard the man a Airbus 747
"shes the only intact B17 Flying fortress left in the world !! - this is just nonsense - there are a lot of B17s still flying and intact !.. - Lots of errors in this video - shame..
What about the “Lady of the Lake” WB-29 superfortess at Eielson AFB Alaska. She’s in the middle of a small lake out in the middle of nowhere.
Fun Fact: There are more intact B17s flying then there are Boeing 747 Airbuses in existence.
HAHAHAHA, took me a sec
@@willjepson7770 Me too!!! hahahaha!!!
I have been inside a B17 in Arizona where I LIVE! The B17 is a great bomber but not the last one in the world.
Swamp ghost is not the only surviving B-17, it was just the only wreck left fully intact above water, there’s another B17 near where swamp ghost was recovered, it’s called the gray ghost, but it’s tail was sheered off in the wreck so it’s not intact even though all of the pieces are in the same spot.
6:28 runway
ITS THE RAMP NOT A RUNWAY
Ow yea nice one calling a 747 an Airbus
Avgeek is mad
"The only intact B-17 Flying Fortress left in the world"
Not the last.
Not intact.
But it is a B-17.
Malasian Airlines 370th sounds in cockpit before dissapearing: Pull up! Pull up! Alarm noises
I found one in France whilst out for a walk. A plane that crashed in the 1960's coming back from algeria. It is irretrievable has lost its engines and wings but the fuselage is still there. I think it may have been for parachutists.
Actually there are a number of surviving B-17's still around, in the U.S. alone there are 9 that are airworthy with another being restored to airworthy condition.
Of the B-17 E's there are currently 4 intact survivors with 1 of them being restored to airworthy condition.
that last statement on the B-17 is severely false. there are 47 in complete form, 11 air worthy and 40 in the U.S. alone.
The Commemorative Air Force, Mesa Wing, are currently touring western USA, Canada with their Fortress and a Mitchell, both restored to perfection! You can actually buy a seat for local flights if you have the means.
Thank you
@@lolcat4945 Also got the Sally B, last remaining airworthy B17 in Europe
In Pooler, Georgia there is a fully operational B-17 flying fortress in a museum.
he flew without the parachute on the last mission ? NAH HE USED IT😂
“The scrapyard”
People who like airplanes a lot
Angry noises
Not true regarding the "only surviving B17 in the world" I flew on one about three months ago! Ye Old Pub was her name and there are others out there too including Liberty Belle being restored by The Liberty Foundation in Georgia, USA.
THE Ye Olde Pub? I didn't know they had restored that, considering the state it was once in
*informative video!!!, thanks for sharing!!!*
13:48 there are more then just one intact B-17 Flying Fortress left. There’s 39 that are flying or intact.
It's funny that they show video of OTHER surviving B17s then claim Swamp Ghost is the only one left..
SMDoktorPepper I think he meant b17e
There are several B17e that are still around and are being restored.
He said “She’s the only IN TACKT B17 left”
Omg when I heard that B-17 is last one of its kind I cringed so hard. Cmon check facts first.
The B-17 E is one of the last of its kind. Most surviving models are B-17 G models. The Memphis Belle is a B-17 F model.

“Planes will remain the fastest and most efficient way to travel long distance in a short space of time”. Elon Musk: “Am I a joke to you?”
It's probably not gonna remain for long, but it is currently because space travel is to a very limited group of people
The Russian flying boat on the pedestal is a Beriev Be-6, not a Be-12.
So Malaysian 370 is intact sitting in a jungle in Cambodia, eh? Kinda curious considering pieces of it have washed up on various shores.
Disappearance:
Date: 8 March 2014; 5 years ago
Summary: Cause unknow, some debris found
Site: Southern Indian Ocean (presumed)
So don't believe what he say
It's even not on Air Crash Investigation... yet
That is not a Beriev BE-12......it's a BE-6
6:38 Anyone else gonna comment on the fact that he called the 74 an Airbus?
They are bringing the be 12 back!!
Say it with me, “Cat-a-lee-na”.
Call it the last b17 have u heard of the memphis belle u used it in a clip!!
Ah....There's a fully flying B17 that flies with the Commemorative Air Force and not to mention complete examples in museums across the country. Swamp Ghost is by far not the only surviving intact B-17 from war time. Even considering the USAF Museum in Dayton has the Memphis Belle for starters that they fully restored.
I’m pretty sure that’s a Be-6 shown at 5:00. Those engines aren’t super props and there is no landing gear
There's a B-17 that flies in and out of DuPage County Airport, in West Chicago, IL on occasion. It's not based there, but it has been used for Honor Flights
I believe it is aluminum overcast, based at the eaa air museum in Oshkosh, that travels to Chicago...there are usually 4 or 5 that attend eaa every year
I just flew on the Boeing A380!!!
Boeing doesn't build the A380. It is built by Airbus.
swamp ghost is not the only b-17 intact. there are many still flying today. i had the opportunity to check one out here at my local airport when they had an engine failure and had to land.
R.I.P Olympic Eagle... : (
thats not the only b17 left! where did this guy get his facts? theres like 40 of them and 11 of them still fly
Chad Olech 10 :(
13:39 I saw this B17 in the Aviation museum
everybody gansta till the planes attack from the trees
There is a Flying Fortress left in an air show I when to last year u even showed a clip of it
The purported BE-12 on the pylon is obviously not this type of aircraft.
The engines are radial piston engines and not turboprops that would
be found on the BE-12. I suspect that the aircraft is actually a much
older design that preceded the BE-12 in Soviet service.
The aircraft on the pylon is a BE-6, much older than the BE-12 with very little in common between the two.
*Do not blame the narrators because they're underpaid and poorly educated usually from rural America. Please do understand* czcams.com/video/cRqVgGomU7E/video.html
Aluminum planes don't rust away obviously you can see by the pictures that these planes have no rust thumbs down for you
R.I.P old planes...
and most specially Boeing 747's
9:33 Um? I am Russian and what do you mean “Serving until the fall of the Soviet Union?” Russian Air Force still uses IL-96s. They are very reliable and simple. The video is not accurate at all
IL-76
I agree and the swamp ghost is definitely not the only B-17 left there is one at an air show in Ohio by the Great Lakes I saw a few years back
pretty sure he meant that specific IL-76
he had a LOT of fact's wrong tho regardless.
