Man finds abandoned plane in South Carolina forest

An American YouTuber has documented his discovery of a plane left abandoned in a tree.

The man spotted the tree in a South Carolina forest on Google Earth and decided he wanted to check it out for himself.

Then, he shared the whole journey on his YouTube channel, Mobile Instinct.

The mysterious South Carolina tree that hosts a jet

The fuselage was lodged between two forks off the tree’s main trunk, leaving the plane suspended twenty feet in the air.

It’s not clear what has happened here.

Whilst the natural assumption would be that the plane crashed into the tree, the wings are still intact.

A more likely theory is that the plane was left on the ground and then trees grew up underneath it.

Either way, this is a one-in-a-million sighting.

Abandoned planes are something of a dime a dozen, with plane graveyards raking in views on YouTube.

This plane’s placement in the branches of a tree makes it truly stand out.

Hiding in Plane sight

Upon closer inspection, Mobile Instinct found there was a cleared trail underneath the tree.

This suggests that the tree isn’t the most guarded secret, as other explorers have made a path to see the plane.

However, the exact location of the tree remains unclear – these plane spotters want to keep it hush-hush.

This isn’t the first – and almost certainly not the last either – time a plane has to be found on Google Earth.

Two abandoned fighter jets were spotted on the site earlier this year.
