The Sundance Channel's "Big Ideas for a Small Planet" did a feature on it: http://www.sundancechannel.com/films/500203142 The 747 wasn't used as is, of course; it was cut up and different parts used for different things. The final home was way cool in all respects. Guarantee: it will not be as cool as the house that HAS ALREADY BEEN DESIGNED AND BUILT from a 747.

Made a home out of it; IIRC, they angled the wings on pylons and folded them back along the fuselage as a kind of outdoor mall. There's probably pictures somewhere else on teh Internets. I'm not much for interior decorating, but you could do anything inside: diner, coffee house, any kind of retail. Make a nice machine shop, aviation parts facility, or ops shack for a rural airport. Probably wouldn't be too hard to get an FAA grant to do it, either. The freak factor would get it to the top of the pile. After that, hell: Airport restaurant, disco, bar. Strip club. I can see it now: "Top Flite: Adult Entertainment". Can anybody hook me up with some business plan software? Somebody already did this, think it was Malibu, or Topanga Canyon.

I'm trying to save the environment.Sure doesn't look well insulated,it must have a big carbon footprint.How much energy does it use? It would be great for testing rockets & missiles on though.

Turn the wing fual area into a massive Moutain Dew Holding tank, and you have a climers paridaise. O ya the wings could be used to land your hang glider. Then all you need is a bid screen to watch the Colts play on. Hang half of er over a 5000 foot cliff (make sure the rest in really secured) and than have a climing net/rope all the way to the bottem.
