I know it's been done more than once, but I think this Boeing 727 converted into a house is just brilliant. The pix were emailed to me without details. Avianca of Colombia aircraft I guess, but anyone know more details? Many more pix below. And another couple of similar projects here and here.

WOW :D
I want to make similar but with Tupolev Tu-154. Sounds pretty expensive :)

it's part of a hotel in Costa Rica, which can be rented. i typed in "cool 727 house" in the search window to find it.

Crash in a jet plane
Near a beach that's within Manuel Antonio National Park, the Hotel Costa Verde doesn't lack for great sights. But few are as amazing as its own 727 Fuselage Suite, a salvaged 1965 Boeing 727-100 that looks as if it's crashed into the Costa Rican jungle (it's actually mounted atop a 50-foot pillar and reached via a spiral staircase). The jet's interior was once able to hold up to 125 passengers, but there are few reminders left of its days in the service of South African Airways and Colombia's Avianca Airlines. The suite's two bedrooms, dining area, and sitting room are now covered over entirely in teak to match the surroundings. Guests can play "spot the toucan" on the small wood deck that sits on top of the right wing.

Check out what it looked like in 'The Boeing, which was named “Orange” in her SAA days, looked like this until the hotel saved her.
