Light from Light

In response to the trivia item that notes the plane would have been removed, as documented in Jeff Wadley's book, "Mayday! Mayday!: Aircraft Crashes In The Great Smoky Mtn Nat Park, 1920-2000" (and several articles found on the internet) there are, in fact, at least six planes still in the Smoky Mountains because they are too remote to remove. Blue Ridge Outdoors magazine did an interview with Wadley in 2017 in which it was discussed how hikers could visit these sites.

Shelia and Richard visit the site of a plane crash over 11 months after it happened and they see a large portion of the remains of the plane. Even in a remote, wooded mountain area the FAA would have by then hauled everything out to reconstruct what caused the accident.
