The Miss Piggy is a Curtiss C-46 Commando twin-engine cargo plane that crashed on 13 November 1979 while attempting to return to Churchill airport after an engine failure on takeoff. The aircraft came down on rocky ground on the edge of town and was left where it fell. Over the decades it has become one of Churchill's most photographed landmarks — the fuselage sits at a photogenic angle, slowly being reclaimed by the tundra.
The wreck is accessible by road, about 7 km from the town centre on Amundson Road, and sits in prime polar bear territory in autumn. Keep an eye out for bears, especially in October and November. The site is open and unguarded; visit in daylight.
