Abandoned 727 in Hanoi (Merged)

Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing 727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi’s Noi Bai airport.

The plane was flown in from Siem Reap in neighbouring Cambodia in late 2007 and has been unclaimed ever since.

I have often read about strange stuff left behing at lost and found, but this must be a new one even for the most experienced lost-and-found employee.

HAve you lost a 727?

Apparantly no one wants to claim this B.727 at Hanoi Airport!
