Those who like to ride the Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World will be familiar with the crashed plane near the Hippo pool.

The plane is the star of a number of the skippers jokes including "Well, this is how I landed my job here. Kinda plane to see. I took the crash course"

Guests can only see the rear of the plane and that is because it is only half of a full plane.

The front half of the plane can be found in the Casablanca scene in The Great Movie Ride. Why waste a full sized plane on one attraction when you can split it in half and use it on two!
