A US Air Force retiree from Nashville, Michigan has dreamt of converting an airplane into an RV since he was eight years old. And now, Gino Lucci has successfully converted the derelict fuselage of a 1943 'Douglas R4D' aircraft into a fully functioning motorhome he's named 'The Fabulous Flamingo'. It was originally flown by the Navy in South America, and had been on the ground for over 30 years when Gino's son found it in poor conditions. Gino and his sons took three months just to fuse the plane with the chassis of an old delivery truck he owned. Gino told Ridiculous Rides: "The process we used to merge the two was very hillbilly scientific - it was exciting the challenge of it, every day it was just fun." It took a whole year to get the vehicle road-worthy and another two years to fine tune the detail - costing Gino $20,000 in total.

That is simply ... priceless ! Beats Prevost, Newmar, American Coach, Newell Coach and more airstream than Airstream. Down right fantastic.
Wow! that thing is so cool!!
You did a job to really be proud of! GOD bless! In
At 80-85 is "when it starts taking off..." He _does know_ wings ar necessary for taking off, doesn't he?

he meant that that's the speed that airplanes usually take off, thus, the engineering of the aerodynamics does not really account for much more than that. Thus, why he didn't feel comfortable going past that speed
It`s Awesome !
What a way to split up a plane 😂
That is totally awesome one of a kind
It stopped at my shop in Oshkosh so I got to see it in person. Pretty cool

Jimmy is crazy too so maybe him and Grizzly can pull it off.
Saw you pass through Battle Creek yesterday. You get a lot of attention! I assume you've seen Jimmy's Worl hee on youtube doing something similar with an old Elvis plane?
