I bought a Boeing 727 for just £1,500 & turned it into my dream home – I found an amazing way to transform the cockpit

A WOMAN has told how she turned a Boeing 727 she bought for just £1,500 into her dream home. Jo Ann spent six months renovating the 12-foot wide cabin – and even found a genius way to transform the cockpit.

She started working on the aircraft after her brother-in-law, air traffic controller Bob Farrow, suggested the idea. The woman bought an old Boeing 727 that was destined for the dump for $2,000 in 1994. The plane which ran from May 11, 1968 until September 20, 1993, was shipped to a plot of land in Benoit, Mississippi. The house – nicknamed “Little Trump” after Donald Trump’s $16-million corporate jet – has three bedrooms, a living room, a full kitchen, a laundry room, and a master bathroom inside, according to Airport Journals. Some of the plane’s features were kept the same- such as one of the bathrooms that was kept as a toilet and overhead luggage compartments that were used as storage space. Other features were added, including a hot tub and a bath in the cockpit. In an interview with NBC’s Today Show more than 20 years ago, Jo Ann said it cost less than £50,000 ($30,000) to set up the plane with necessary heating, plumping, and electrical elements. Jo Ann told the Good News Center: “The plane is 27 years old and it’s the best home in the world. It has all the things you want in a home. It comes as another woman converted an old Boeing 777 into a luxury home – with a hidden secret room. TikToker Carla Cary bought the decommissioned  Etihad Airways plane and launched her project to turn it into her dream home.
