Why not just plant some flowers in the engines? That would look nice dont you think?

If I overflew that, I'd be tempted to report a crash!

I hope he’s not planning on renting that out, he’d have to have it commercially registered …

Do you think he could get his house keeper approved as his PRM?

There're two big decks! One on either side!

I wonder if he gets compressor stalls on #2 when it gets windy.

This 727 looks like it was once owned by Olympic (and the Greek signage confirms that). A cool idea, but I personally couldn't see myself living in an old airplane... Maybe I'd make it a rec room or movie theater?

It looks like he has had that thing since 2003 and really not done much at all. Planes are for flying buddy! Now turn that sucker into a boat and I'll be impressed....unless it came with young flight attendants, then I understand why you got it.

Naaah.... take an old 747 SP and turn it into a strip club.
Have waitress wear skipmy Jetsons style uniforms and call it the "cockpit" lol

Actually one of the few ways where you could make money in aviation is this.

Take an aging 744, give it a pimping interior job and have the first flying brothel/high roller casino in international airspace, just off the coast of some oil filled sandbox.

Take it a step further and rub it in Sir Branson's face by calling it the "Slut Pacific Palace"

OK flame away ladies. It's been a slow monday in my life.

Lol, yeah but having a couple turbines at the back would be really cool. That picture is too funny.

that website is an insult to the internet. HTML code from 1994 anybody?

I saw somewhere that a guy(doctor or something) bought the flight deck of a 737 and turned it into a personal flight simulator using microsofts fligth simulator, if i can find the link ill post. I myself thought it was pretty cool, but thats just me

I think it's cool and almost have the agreeing to get one once the kiddies are moved out. I think we'll go a little bigger than the 27 though, 67 or bigger and set up the BBQ on the wing!!
