Funny how you walked through the woods and
spider webs just to find out there was a dirt road
you could have taken
Haha thats what i just said 🤣
@@vicvega3614😂😂😂😂😂same.👍
Now that wouldn't make for an entertaining video, now would it? :)
*plays Raiders of the Lost Ark music*🤣
dedication🤘
Former air traffic controller here. There are two different aircraft registrations on the plane. The ‘N’ is the USA registration and the ‘XA’ under the wing is Mexican registry so it’s probably parts of planes stuck up there for some reason
This. Noticed that too.
FYI..From someone who's walked through a lot of woods. When you start out, get yourself a long skinny branch about 3 feet or so, you can wave it through the webs in front of you as you go.
i use a machete. 🍻
I always use a stick like that too. Here in Florida, you never know what's in those weeds.
Definitely needs a spider stick.
@@niteshades_promiseI use an ar-15.
That's a good idea.
Last flight on Flightaware is from 1999 from Waco, Tx to Corpus Christi. Looks like it was sold in 2006. Very odd to place it up in a tree.
Welp i don't have to look it up now. Thanks😊
First thing I did was track it as well. 😂
I tracked it as well.
@@manfredalbrechtfreiherrvon4042hey Red Baron
Deregistered in 2006. No other information on FAA website. Cessna 210.
That plane must be a track feature. There's a gap between the wing root, and fuselage, so I'm guessing the plane was disassembled, put on a trailer, and hauled out to the track. one of those small craned would've been used to lift the fuselage into the tree, and then the wings were attached. Pretty cool find. Thanks for sharing. :)
Clearly you have found yourself on the LOST Island.
Haha, I was like, oh, I know this episode.
Lol I plan say that when I see this
Which means there's going to be no resolution.
someone placed that airplane in those trees as a form of artistic expression.
Yep. Someone else pointed out - no control surfaces, prop is bent goofy, gear removed, artistic placement.
My first guess was that the tree grew over the last couple decades, and lifted it off the ground.
and wing numbers don't match hull number. Cobbled together and placed in a tree for google earth bait. love it.
😅😅😅😅😅What!
Nope! Try again
Agree
My grandfather was famous for saying "now that's something you don't see every day," usually over rather mundane things.
He died in 1994.
When you said that in this video, over something you certainly don't see every day, I had to laugh 😅 my grandfather would have eaten up that sight, & exclaimed the very same thing.
Thanks for the touch of nostalgia!!
As an ex pilot, I can safely say that there is NO WAY that plane could have landed in that tree without being a LOT more busted up than it was. A 2 ton plane hitting trees at 80 - 100mph would virtually destroy it. The first thing to get ripped off would be the wings and elevators. Also, no landing gear and 2x registration numbers? A dummy hanging out of the door would definitely freak people out.
A really cool find though, definitely an eye catcher.
The propeller is bent rearward.
According to the FAA it is a Cessna 210 formerly last registered in Oklahoma. It has been classified declassified since 2013. No last owner recorded.
You beat me to it.😅
@bigc8300 my aging bodies last hurrah
Lol 😂
@@jessicamerriman2336 I feel the same way Advil is my best friend.
@bigc8300 I was a pilot since 1989, but finally got grounded by medical. That totally sucks!
It looks small like a Cessna. At first I thought it was a giant RC plane.
That tree is shaped like the perfect slingshot. Like out of a Looney Tunes episode, hook up a winch and pull that puppy back. Then hop in the plane and cut the cable! She’ll be back in the air in no time!
Just need the Acme rubber band...
Interesting. Can't find an accident report with the NTSB with that N number. Bird was built in 1959 and and the last recorded event was a sale of this aircraft in 1999.
A mannequin in the cockpit would be over the top...I got a hunch hooch was involved.
Better yet a mannequin in a parachute hanging in the tree too😂
or shrooms
Skeletons 😅
white powdery hooch?

I'd be more afraid of Ticks than Spiders. They are both Aracnindes but the Ticks are tiny Vampires that wait for you to brush against them so they can make a meal out of you.
and give you all kinds of fun diseases!
Ticks give you Lyme disease which can cause all sorts of problems
Fleas bite , ticks suck
Off Deep Woods"Deet"
Snakes!!!!
If you hold on long enough, Trevor Jacobs will be along in a moment carrying his parachute!
Very cool how it’s suspended and held up by the tree. Like a work of art.
Somebody put it there. Last flight was 1999, sold in 2006. So it seems to have just been carefully put there. Not a wreck.
It looks like the tree is about to launch it.
The prop is bent. Something is fishy about it.
How could it go down the trail and how would one go about putting that up there.
@@ksavage681, or someone stole that bad boy and landed it in the trees. Especially if it wasn’t fueled up.
Saw a car like that once. The guy climbed out of it. And they pulled it out a week later.
I'm glad there were no banjos.
O.K. I’m going to say it…….”The Plane! The Plane”.
Hahaha 😂Thanx! I needed that one 😂
Nice Deer Blind
We had a small Cessna lose power on take off from a nearby private airfield, it was carrying the pilot and the owners wife. It stopped dead at the end of the runway in a huge Maple tree grove without crashing severely. The occupants were retrieved w/o injury. I kind of wish they left the plane there to create more curiosity, but I know the people were just grateful to be alive.
It was placed there. No dents, no scratches. Didn't land there. Some eccentric having fun.
You know someone seen that tree and said hey bubba hold my beer, watch this.😂
So you went through all those spider webs and theres a road right there 😄 thats something that would happen to me
😄 That's funny.
Plane was never crashed, it was last sold in 2006 and currently there are no reports on where it is.
We have a report now on where it is😂
@@nathank4708 lol!
We found it folks
It could be an insurance scam
the N number comes back to a R 22 Beta helocipter
It was either airlifted of craned in there to be a curiosity. If was an actual crash, there would have been WAY more damage to the aircraft and the forest area. The N number (if accurate) was cancelled back in 2013.
Well they bent the prop pretty good , so it suffered damage while the engine was on. It's very unusual to have a Mexican registration under the wing as well. It's clearly not an XA-JUV aircraft. The US registration fits the Cessna 210 we see on searches.
@@Fcreceptor Yup!
@@Fcreceptor My guess is the airplane suffered a prop strike and needed an engine rebuild, but the owner decided it wasn't worth it. The Mexican registration is the same as a Boeing 247D that crashed so maybe they put it on there as a sort of memorial. Maybe a family member was involved.
@@MrMontanaNights yeah I figure it was considered a loss by the owner so they scraped it. I doubt the inside has much left.
Maybe drug plane and it did crash there?
I love hearing about your flat tire for 2 1/2 minutes. Lol.
Flat tire was more interesting than somebody putting an old object in a tree, next to a road, on a motor vehicle park…
Tracking through the woods to go where everyone else has driven…
Yay or ick… spiders…. Ooooh.
😃
I had a neighbor many years pulled a prank on a friend. They were both pilots. While pilot one was on vacation, pilot two and some friends disassembled a plane and reassembled it in pilot one's entryway into his house so it looked like the plane crashed like that.
They can be taken apart and put together easily by people who know what they are doing.
It's not a plane, but rather an assembly of pieces of different airplanes. It was definitely placed there on purpose. FWIW. Looks like the wings came from Mexico, and parts of the fuselage could be an old Cessna 210.
Amazing find well done
Looks like a off-road park
One thing is certain 🤔, the universe hates inflated tires.😂😂😂😅
Thank you for flying Tree-Top Airways. Please exercise caution while deplaning, and watch that first step.
Ppl saying it wasnt crashed there. I figured that out. Planes dont back into a tree with a Y.
..Oh yah..? Hold my meth - watch _THIS_ !
No..They back into trees and say, give it to me baby.
Wow you must be so smart.😂
I have no idea how it got up there. But if there is no dead body inside, it would make for an awesome treehouse - _if_ you could find a way to get up there.
I can't believe all the comments here still about it maybe still being a crash... like, come on.
i'm hoping that Chris will do a video on the "Rolling Mill Mine Disaster of 1902", as the entrance to the mine is located not too far from the Inclined Plane in Johnstown, just across the Stonycreek River.
Definitely placed there , no way that landed there. Cool vid.
Why would they just put it there and more importantly HOW?? lol
Thanks Capt. Obvious
@@haywoodyoudomelol you beat me to it!
There's no way they brought that through that small trail on the ground!
Also you would need a pretty big crane to put it up there.
@@DannyWildmen News flash....planes can be taken apart....and it's not as high as it looks.
The fuselage and wings are from two different planes.
The spiders are there to distract you from the copperheads.
Haha I was keeping my eyes peeled 🐍
Or the cotton mouths
And ticks
Pretty cool! Glad there were no TREX around 😁
Best channel on TH-cam straight legend
sweet parking job 😂
Must’ve been a group project or a memorial thing
Great video, Chris! Tires and spiders and planes. Oh my!😮
To my eye that plane looks to have been "installed" in that tree. There would be more substantial damage to the plane if, in fact, it crash landed in the forest. Thanks for posting.
I agree with that
I’m betting on an abandoned movie prop. It would be rare for a metal propeller to break both blades off that short. The missing wing root fairings would indicate a non-airworthy status. Then there is the odd apparatus on the tail cone that looks like some kind of smoke generator or pyrotechnic, certainly nothing original to the aircraft. Finally, the conflicting US and Mexican registrations numbers. The prop supervisor probably said that piece of tin isn’t worth the cost to get it out of the trees and haul it off. I’d bet all the instruments and avionics were stripped before it was put in the tree.
I think you might be correct. I noticed that gizmo on the tail and thought...well, that ain't right! BTW, I am a pilot and without a doubt, that plane was PLACED there,, not crashed!
We love a good Google Earth adventure 🧐
Billy Bob Thornton and Bill Paxton made a movie about finding a plane out in the woods that looked like that. It had millions of dollars in it tho ha. Troubles ensued after. Forget the name of the movie tho
A Simple Plan
@@killersp1974 The book was so much better than the movie!
@@michaelmcenery7515
They always are
Maybe movie prop - there is a jet exhaust built into the back of the fuselage (no, not a common Cessna mod) - so definitely something staged.
One of them thar J-to rockets from a b52 so you can get that Cessna up in the air fast when taking off on those fine backwoods Mexican airstrips fully loaded with METH!!!!!
Nice. I once found a tree in the plains 😂
It was obviously placed there, with the very little damage. That road and a crane. Simple! Cool that someone took the time to do that💪
Really? 🥱
"Once you pass under the plane in the tree turn right"
"OK, what color is the plane?"
"I promise it's the only one on the way to the house."
"?"
"OMG really? It's white OK?"
"I actually changed my mind- please don't visit me."
Every state I have been in the woods in. I have found spiders. Spiders live everywhere. LMFAO
Maybe people don’t know…and don’t call me Shirley.
Be careful out there Chris and no offence you'll have to lose some weight, so you can easily jump over streams and fit enough to climb a small tree. Because, you're videos are great and insightful of the American countryside and culture. 💪🏻🤗
I really dig these "found on Google Earth" vids.
You are one hell of a you tuber who never fails to amaze and amuse and I for one thank you for it . Your a gentleman and a scholar , I dont care what they say about you..
It was probably flying over and got caught in a spider web 🕸
Your just loaded with all kinds of fantastical ideas while you're spiraling in the forest 🤣🤣🤣
The plane looks like someone's clever joke. It is right on the two-track so it is easy to get to. And those things don't weigh much.
It was put there. No landing gear and the trunk is behind the wings.
To be fair, if you were going to land in the trees (because of an engine out or whatever) you'd leave the gear up. But yea, it was definitely carefully place there.
@@MrMontanaNights that plane didn't have retractable landing gear.
@@justingillette4643 It’s a Cessna 210. All 210s have retractable landing gear.
Placed there as a prop for a movie? There's something not quite right about it, the tail doesn't look real. The spinner and prop are connected to the plane with a long, thin shaft. Proportions seem off. Seems like a cobbled together prop for a movie or TV show.
Well Chris, at least your car came with a spare. I found out the hard way Kia's don't put spares in their cars. Color me confused. Anywho, love the plane in the tree. I'm curious as to who and why.
WOW! What a great find. I'm really curious what the story is behind that plane. Thanks for sharing.
Wonder if its for some sort of training. Wide roads and such. Might be for rescue type vehicles. Don't know just a thought.
Awesome find Chris. You may not have heard but Shreveport and Bossier City Louisiana was hit by a tornado.
I thought that was one of those huge RC planes. I was going to say that thing is worth a pretty penny to the right person.
I always appreciate the work you do in your videos Chris as they’re always interesting. I hope you’re doing well, keep up the great work and take care!
Seems like someone with a sense of humor trolling google maps 😂 looks like it worked!
Should have brought a saw! Start scrapping it out!
The engine parts are worth a lot.
Plane engines ain't worth a crap if they take a blow to the prop like that one did,tweeks the crankshaft.
Great find it's different , but to come across a road which leads up to the plane is a bonus.
It sounds like the hole in the rim where the valve stem pushes through may be bending the valve stem pinching it and causing it to go flat, or the rim is pulling on the valve stem of the tire, causing it to lose air. One way or another, it could be some kind of combination of all of the above I explained. I had this very same issue many years ago. It's worth checking out.
Try a double plug on that tire.
& with the plane I think you found a Pablo Escobar hiding place lol.
Very cool! Thanks Chris.
Yep , the plane wanted to land on the road but a dead tree with the perfect shape was in the way….? As long as you enjoyed the walk to share with us it’s a win for who ever is responsible .
So, if you look in the cockpit, any nav or com radios, gauges or stripped down. They put it there as a college engineers joke maybe? It’s no accident it’s near a track. 😊
Someone definitely put it up there on purpose. As others pointed out the different tail numbers APU/Jet engine exhaust on the back.
I've seen something similar before on a video and it was confirmed to have been placed there for a film. Could be the same thing here.
1.) The plane started to have problems but could n ot make it to land on the off-road track.
2.) The plane was forced down due to weather.
3.) The plane ditched in trees directly over a road so the cargo could be hauled out directly by multiple vehicles (trucks, atv's, etc)
4.) Any combination of the 3 above.
It was exported yo south Africa in 2006. Wonder how it wound up as a trail decoration
Havent you ever seen tree cars? Same idea but with a plane. Its art.
Growing up in the PNW i know several farms in WA and OR that have cars placed in oak trees on purpose for people driving by to look at and have a moment of wonder
The reason the plane is still sitting in the woods is because it will cost more than it is worth to extract it.
HOWEVER, if it is on private property, the owner can sue to have it removed no matter what it costs.
!
Good luck with your tire ! Remarkable landing , if that was the case. Couldn't have found a better spot to bring the plane down ! It's an official landmark now !
Hopefully, there are no Spineosaurouses around.
And beware those crafty Velocaraptors.
No crash report was ever filed, just it was sold in 2006. I don't see how it could have crashed and not broke the struts. Looks like it was set down in that tree on purpose. Being right over a road. Someone put it their one purpose is my guess.
A hell of a job to put and secure that plane on a tree
FAA registry listing for N7496E shows a Cessna 210. This plane is not a 210. It looks like a Cessna 140. Also take note of the foreign registration - XA-JUV - under the left wing. Registrations beginning with 'XA' are from Mexico. This leads me to believe it's a "parts"plane. Why was it done, and why is it there? Who knows.
When it was delisted it had a Continental IO-470 under the hood. That's a 6-cylinder engine. A C-140 had a 4-cylinder engine.
@@dwightmagnuson4298 That is true. But the 210 is also larger than the 140. It's possible the plane in the tree is an early model C-172 - I can't quite tell from the angles it's shown at - but it's certainly not a 210. The rear side-windows of a 210 are much larger than that of the 140.
Its last flight was in 1999 to the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi. Probably placed there for search and rescue practice.
It is not secured, so a good wind could make it take off again!! Should call it "patches" bc it is a mix of different airplane parts.
Someone sounds like they have been a lifetime smoker or been blowing up flat tires by mouth.
So you're in Vancouver B.C. and you found the Eaglerock Bullet aircraft built in Denver Colorado, 1935. Congratulations !!! I've been searching for that plane since 1979. Well done!
N7496E is a Cessna 210 that was de-registered from the FAA database August, 2013.
Obviously it was placed there. The tree goes up behind the wings. No way it could crash land like this.
N7496E
CESSNA 210 Fixed wing single engine (4 seats / 1 engine). Serial Number57196.
Status: Unknown
Airworthiness Date: 1959-08-05
Last Action Date: 1999-12-06
Sale Reported: 02-Jun-2006 Oklahoma
LANDED OVER 25 YEARS AGO
This Aircraft has been Deregistered
(I can't find anything at all about this aircraft crashing. There is zero chance it "crashed" into that tree like that. It was 100% placed there as a tourist attraction.)
not sure if this was ever suggested in any of your prior videos, but you outta check out an area in Kentucky called "The Land Between The Lakes", because it was the site of a grisly murder that happened sometime in the early 1980's, where 4 campers (a husband, wife, a son, and a daughter) were savagely murdered, and was rumored to have been eaten as well.
No one knows if it was a cannibalistic serial killer, or if it was some animal of unknown origin that did it, but the story went that the bodies were ripped apart and partially eaten by someone, or something.
I camped at Land Between The Lakes back in the 1990s,very cool place.
@@carlshowalter9629 did the area feel haunted to you? I only ask this, is because it is the site of that grisly murder, and the area itself had strange happenings even before that
The cost of retrieving that plane might outweigh its value.
Given Hurricane Beryl yesterday I wonder if it’s still up there 🤣
There's a road that stops abruptly and I did a search of the area on Google Earth. I found three abandoned cars beyond the active railroad lines! But it's part of a nature preserve so I'm not allowed on the property. ):
The X letters on the wings are Mexican registration.. the N number on the fuselage is US registration.. odd mix up
April 18th, 2013 - NBC News has a story of a small plane crash in Lancaster County, South Carolina. Crashed 25 feet up in the trees. It's very much intact. Has blue striping - which may have faded? If it's the same plane. Pilot was rescued.
Please be careful ❤ Great video!
It's a cosmic allusion to "Once you fly the airplane into the tree one time"
