Home takes flight

In a world where finding a unique and personal living space can be challenging, some people have found the answer to their housing search in the most unexpected of places – old retired planes. Instead of becoming scrap, these retired aircraft are being transformed into homes and hotels that offer an unparalleled living experience.

After losing her home in a fire, Jo Ann Ussery transformed a Boeing 727 into a fully functional residence in Benoit, Mississippi, complete with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and even a hot tub in the cockpit. She outfitted her 1,500 square foot “home” for less than $30,000.
