Miss Piggy Plane Wreck

On 13 November 1979, a C-46 crashed while attempting to land at the Churchill Airport. The Lamb air Cargo Aircraft earned the nickname Miss Piggy because of the large loads it carried in and out of Northern Manitoba. at approximately 9:30 AM shortly after takeoff, the pilot reported mechanical problems and a drop in oil pressure. Attempts to return to the Churchill Manitoba Airport failed and the plane crashed short of the runway. The crew and pilot on board suffered injuries but all survived. The remains still rest broken on the rocks and largely intact and are largely open and free to explore. The plane itself has been vandalized over the years but the graffiti adds a bit of character to the plane wreckage. Easily one of the most interesting places to take pictures in Churchill Manitoba.
