Number 10: The disappearance of flight 2723.
On April 26th, 1966 a passenger plane carrying 28 passengers and 5 crew, en route from Baku-Bina international airport in Azerbaijan to the Makhachlkala airport in Russia, (a flight of just about 330 miles), radioed in to their control tower just twelve minutes after take-off, reporting issues with their engines. The crew hypothesized that it may be a problem with the spark plugs in the engines and made the decision to return to Baku-Bina airport rather than risk the remainder of the journey. But…the flight would never make it back.
While on the return to the airport the crew radioed a final time to their control tower, reporting that the engines had begun to vibrate and cool down, and that they had dropped altitude to just 200 meters above sea level. In the broadcast, the pilot had decided that he would need to ditch the plane, pilot talk that basically meant that they would need to have a crash landing.
The plane and its occupants were never to be seen or heard from again, despite searches over both land and sea for the next several days. To this day, the whereabouts of the plane and its now ghostly passengers and crew have yet to be discovered.
Number 9: The Boeing 727 that vanished
A Boeing is already a pretty big plane. With a length of 153 feet and a wingspan of 108 feet, it’s hard to believe that something of its size can disappear without a trace, yet, back in 2003 a Boeing 727 with an already complicated past, managed to do just that. This particular 727 had been used briefly to transport fuel to diamond mines in Angola before being grounded for lack of correct documentation. There, the aircraft had been left to deteriorate for upwards of a year until American Entrepreneur Maury Joseph found a new buyer for the planes’ engines. Ben Padilla was the man chosen for the job of restoring the aircraft and was tasked with getting the 727 back into sky worthy shape.
Within a month, the plane was restored to its former glory and, although Padilla had a private pilot’s license, he was not capable of flying something the size of the 727, and so hired a pilot and co-pilot to get the plane over to Johannesburg in South Africa. Late in the afternoon on the 25th of May 2003 Padilla and his hired crew boarded the aircraft in order to test run the 3 engines when suddenly, and without contacting the control tower for clearance, the huge Boeing 727 began to move towards the runway, moving erratically over the tarmac. It then joined the runway and, again, without any communication to the control tower and with all external lights turned off, it rolled down the runway and took off, banking to the south east over the Atlantic Ocean, it would never be seen again.
Several speculations have arisen over the possible cause of the disappearance, chief among these was that the current owner, Maury Joseph had staged the whole thing for an insurance pay-out, but no claim was ever filed. Being just 2 years after the September 11 attacks and the fact that the plane required 3 crew members to pilot, foul play was also suspected but no foul play groups came forward admitting to the theft. The true nature of what happened to the 727 may never be discovered, but it is still a good one to think on.
Number 8: Varig Flight 967.
Flight 967 was a Boeing 707 cargo plane that departed from Narita International Airport in Japan on January 30th, 1979.
It was on route to Rio de Janiero International airport with a connecting flight in Los Angeles when it disappeared off the radar.
Approximately 30 minutes after departing Narita airport and 120 miles into the journey the control towers lost contact with the plane. It would never be seen or heard from again. On board the flight were 6 crew members including highly experienced pilot, captain Gilberto Araujo da Silva, a pilot who had upward of 23,000 hours logged and who had flown flight 820 in 1973. That flight crash landed just outside Paris, resulting in 123 deaths and only 11 survivors, including the captain, of course.
