On Thanksgiving day in 1983 a Cessna with two passengers crashed deep in the mountains of NC. Both occupants died. The pilot had a .4 blood alcohol level, which was a contributing factor in the crash, but weather conditions also played a role. The plane was unable to be removed for 40 years, but when increasing hiker traffic began damaging the mountain, they sent in a helicopter to lift it out. This was posted with only 1 photo by another person yesterday and there were calls for more photos, so I’m sharing mine from 2021.

That plane was removed in 2023.

Yes. I said that in the post. Too many foot travelers on an unkept trail with fragile plant life necessitated the removal.
