20+ years ago, I helped on a heavy maintenance check on this plane, when it was still flying. Nice to see that it wasn't cut up to be used as scrap metal!

As an engineer, I'm glad they didn't try it the other way around."Flight 411 Brownstone requesting air speed check.. " Tower ..." What floor?" "Please remain on the sofa until the house comes to a complete stop."

Love episodes like this. It's always nice to see all the variations of "retired" transportation being repurposed like this instead of being dismantled for scrap.

Neato! Thanks for telling us the horrendous costs involved so we don't think; "Oh, I wanna do that, it will be cheap"!

The deck on the wing is a fabulous idea! I suggest you call it the Wing Deck...

This was a great video and if I were wanting to become a experienced bush pilot this would be the school to attend especially with the accomodations you are providing. Great job and wish you every success.

I am a retired cargo pilot and really enjoyed the video. A very cool place for sure. Thanks for keeping the spirit alive!

How long you retired ? can you still fly a plane alone ? Just curious

How cool to live each day enjoying your hobby and vocation as one. Congrats on your success! I really enjoyed seeing what you did to make the airplane resort/home style comfortable. 😃❤️

Love this! Maybe I can finally sleep comfortably in an airplane.

Makes you wonder what they did before they got into aviation to be able to drop $800,000 on this plane. It's a pretty cool concept.......

Just moving it had to be a huge expense. I used to travel all over Alaska for work and probably saw this plane in the air years ago. This is only a few miles from where I have lived the last 44 years.

Nah, I’m gonna say this was probably the dumbest way to spend your hard earned money. $800,000 for 700 sq ft of narrow space in a useless airplane. And the work that was done to it for the price was between mediocre and horrible. Would’ve made more sense to build a second home and purchase a 2nd small plane for training purposes.

@@TexasTactical81 I totally agree. The look on his girlfriend's face said it all.

Wow! This couple really went beyond all boundaries! A magnificent business idea mixed with a love of adventurous living & spaces, and a passion for aviation!👍😃🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

Talk about unique 😳, and Alaska is such a wild and beautiful place to begin with! It's so fascinating that those two pilots have done ALL of this - the plane accommodations (amazing!), the flight school and the runways... Whoa! It boggles the mind, for sure.

Wow 😃 What a unique and amazing idea for a home, which can also one day be a museum of an older airplane. Their incredible imagination is inspiring 😊

I'm glad you like this book. It sounds like a very useful and informative resource for shed-building enthusiasts. kzread.infoUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The author seems to have a lot of experience and knowledge on how to build sheds of different styles and purposes. You must have learned a lot from his tips and examples. The photos are also impressive, they demonstrate the quality and beauty of the sheds. The book itself is also well-made, with glossy, thick paper and a soft cover that is pleasant to touch. This book is a wonderful choice. blush

What an incredible build. Love it!!!

The gentleman is a very good speaker. He described that build like a real professional.

This is the most fascinating home that I have ever seen! ♥️

This is the 2nd or 3rd airplane home I’ve seen and it’s the very 1st one that’s not cluttered.

Wow! Back in 1966, I worked on those DC-6Bs for United Air Lines. I loved working on them I was 'sheetmetal/structural repair" mechanic. I also worked on B-727s, DC-8s CV- 340s, Caravelles, and more. Glad to see that old bird put to good use up there. "Happy Flying"!

Genius and fun. Love this. Great work.

That is really awesome! You thought of everything to make it sturdy, safe, unique and homey!

Doesn’t look homey to me at all

This is a really awesome renovation . I love it !!

Great job! I just love tiny homes. Beautiful space.

Beautifully done,love it😊

The coolest tiny house you ever showcase.

Absolutely creative and stunning

Wow! This is amazing. Wish it wasn’t so far away so I could see the outside in person. Looks much bigger than 700 square feet.

It locks warmth , the place needs to be spruce up little bit . Few pics of airplanes, few big pots of live plants ( there is more than enough space for it) few rugs , some color. There is no gravel walking paths. It looks unfinished. Other than that its great. Also it's not our business their financial situation. I'm giving 5 without + . Fantastic place for airplanes fans. I'm glad he made his dream come through 🥂🍾👏👍🏻I definitely would like spend a long weekend there. Good luck 🍀 guys

Man that is so fantastic you had such an awesome idea of making a home out of an airplane awesome job I'm just like totally impressed😊😊😊😊😊😊

Interesting build for this aircraft. Innovative!

Just fantastik, congratulations! God bless you

I would go insane in there

That is the coolest tiny home , absolutely love it , they should contact Mike patey and get him to sponsor first flights with this couple!

Fantastic work !!!

Dankie dit is baie oulik en oorspronklik Ek hou daarvan Geniet jul winters en natuur ❤

That was awesome...thanks for sharing. Love ya, Nancy

Congrats for your ideas + wishing you a great success !!! ❤ from Germany !!

First time seeing airplane into a home wow amazing beautiful couple

These Guys R the Best !!!!

Well colour me completely impressed. Your wisdom is refreshing🤗💕

Not only did you do this, you did it well 👌 kudos 😊

Amazing and beautiful!

This is so unique and amazing❤❤❤❤

interesting. would love to visit again when they're finished.

What an amazing undertaking

That is gorgeous and spacious ❤

That makes sense living the outdoor inside of airplane!!

this is ridiculously cool!

What a great idea! 👍

This is the ultimate type of living space, I love it. Kudos to you both 👏

That’s a wonderful idea❤

Cool cool, so much fun and lots of love and engineering.. The cold greige color scheme is less than homey for my taste. But I guess 'homey' wasn't part of the goal. What a place to go to flight school!

.... Wow !! A fantastic use of repurposing a structural unit into something functional ..... I grew up north of Denver , Co. and there was a commercial aircraft fuselage built into a roadside diner ... It was pretty cool to see .... in the area of Erie,Co. .... Don't know what current status of it is ,,if it's still around ... this was late '60's --early '70's .... Building one is a huge undertaking but multiples ?? WOW !! ..

Wow, amazing! You might consider filling the tires with a hardening foam just so they stay round, even after dry rot.

amazing what people are capable of creating.....so very cool

on. my bucket list!!!!!

Excellent. ❤

This is really cool!!

Insanely awesome but also insanely expensive. I'd do something crazy like this if I had the money.

I love it congratulations , much success

Hi there guys, I found the video totally amazing. I loved what you’ve done to the old aeroplane and turned it into a wonderful home. It would be absolutely amazing experienced stay there

What a passion project! Some missed opportunities in terms of interior design I feel. Could have been more aero themed as it was standard design inside. The seating area could have had first class couches facing a wall with the tv and a fold down shelf on the wall. Doorbell switch could have been the "call attendant" button. They should have had one of those attendant carts as a mobile bar!

Cool you kept some of the original stuff

This is extremely nice. Heck yeh...I could live in one!

Thanks for the video. And Beautiful House 🏠😍. ❤

Very interesting video greetings from oakville southern Ontario Canada in my town there's 2 homes constructed by shipping containers and one built upside down everything inside is the opposite the bedrooms are on the ground floor and other rooms are above but from the outside it looks like a regular house

Love it! Hopefully there will never be any high winds storms coming through that flat plains you have there... that would be tragic for ya'll !! LOL

This was a cool video. I woul love to stay in that plane.

I have wanted to live in a plane since I was about 5, we travelled a lot and the Tri star with the stairs in the back was my favourite.

This is pretty sweet. One of a kind for sure.

I’ve always thought this would be a good concept for housing. Plus it’s a good way of recycling.

The inside of that living room screams for a cool aviation/skyscape/alaskan landscape mural of some kind.
