Traveling along Route 71, about halfway between the small town of Norway and Ottawa, you'll spot what appears to the site of a small plane crash, just a few yards away from the major roadway. Dubbed the Danway Plane, this quirky roadside attraction is no accident, it's a monument "Dedicated to all farmers and Ag related business folks that have lived thru the 'Agricultural Crash' of the 1980's".

The 1940s-era twin-engine plane and corresponding plaque were placed on the site by Merv and Phyllis Eastwold, a husband and wife duo who owned and operated the nearby Norwegian Implement Company for 48 years.

The plane has been non-operational for the better half of a century. It was sold to Merv's brother John by a resort in Arkansas, that once had it on display at their own property. After failing to get permission to install it in a lake near his home, John sold it Merv, who then placed it at the crossroads of Route 71 and E. 25th Road.
