Anyone forgotten about 3 Jumbos at KL?
Best check your coat pockets for the keys.

What hapens to a 'forgotten plane'? I mean, if you forget your fridge, it gets horrible inside without electricity and even houses without tenants tend to smell forgotten - what about a plane? What gets spoilt, mouldy or rusty first?

Pfui, Boac, it was a serious question! O:-)
And surely you didn't mean 'old', but 'long-lost and missed'!

Apologies for the whimsy....

I don't know about 'long-lost', just 'lost'?

even houses without tenants tend to smell

I have a house with tenants that stinks. They don't bath, wash, open windows, or wash their clothes.

Erm how come the authorities in charge of the airport don't know who placed said aircraft there in the first place? Also begs the question of whether their airport security would bear any close scrutiny. Just a thought. ...
