If an aircraft wreck can fit in a container it can be moved to the Dodson salvage yard in Rantoul, Kansas, or at least that is my assumption. How else can this Casa end up here all the way from Mokhotlong Airport in Lesotho. This is where, on 16 December 2000, the aircraft overran the runway while landing and ended up inside a local store just outside of the airport perimeter fence.
