That is so insane!!! I always thought about buying an old tanker or some large ship and making it into a floating apartment building, but an aiplane on a pedestal is just wacky.

Yeah...this thing is just straight up wild!! I went to the seller/builders website and checked it out further. I think it's a great idea! Wonder why nobody ever thought of it before.

I guess no one has actually done it yet. All the photos are Photoshop deals.
I guess if you want your house to corrode away because they are .050 and less thick aluminum sheet metal, go for it.
Oh yea. You buy the house - They buy the airplane, sell the landing gear and engines for more than you paid for the house. They are a genius.

Yes you too can become the local weathervane, be the envy of all your friends..... and think of all the news copters using you as a backdrop for the morning weather.... Got to love it.
i did see some show on dicovery where a guy had bought an old fuselage and turned it into a home on the water, weird but cool.. MVG
