She Lives In A Boeing 727

What a creative idea! Joanne Ussary bought a used Boeing 727. She paid $2,000.00 for the plane. It cost $4,000.00 to move and $24,000.00 to renovate. (She has a LOT of wood and specialty windows for $24,000! I want her carpenter!) But not bad for a $30,000.00 investment... The stairs open with a garage door remote and one of the bathrooms is still intact. There is a personal Jacuzzi in the cockpit. The Boeing home is featured as part of a collection of creative conversions. It has a spectacular view! (I wonder how much the land with this view cost!!!) WOW!!!

Must be some private island. I dont know many places that would let you put up something like that, unless rural areas. That is a pretty ritzy place.

There is a resturant in an old jet body, 727,737 not sure which in Walnut Ridge Arkansas, at the old military airfield.

The very first Boeing 747 became a restaurant in Korea after serving Pan Am for some 20+ years. Later, it was disassembled and destroyed. I can't begin to imagine why that ever happened. The Boeing 747 was the very first of the "Jumbos". It is by far the safest plane in the industry and should have been given a spot outside the Smithsonian or maybe another museum. She was a fine work of machinery and technology that no one ever expected it would be able to fly. I never piloted the 747, but I have often wished that I did.

I just want to add one thing to my post. Like all aircraft, yes, they have been in accidents, but there are two that I feel were the worse and should have never happened. The accident on Tenerife, which was the worse airplane disaster in history where two B-747's collided because of all things, fog, and of course, TWA Flight 800 leaving from New York and heading to Rome with a stopover in Paris. Of the few B-747 accidents, those two were the most preventable.
