Bruce Campbell of Portland, Oregon,USA has converted a Boeing 727 Jet to a home. Paying $100,000 to Olympic Airways in Greece.He acquired the jet at the end of its flying life from Olympic Airways in Greece, had it flown from Athens to Oregon, and finally towed to his land. (The average home in the USA costs $186,000-so $100,000 doesnt seem too bad). I do hope that the Nigerian aviation authorities are opening their eyes so that some "smart" business guys are also not buying any of these jets-repainting them and changing the paperwork to use in Nigeria. This guy's jet flew all the way from Greece to the USA-so its not that they cant fly-but they are way past their flying age-even with a change of engine.These jets cost about $10 million used-some crazy person could think of buying one of these dead ones for a mere $100,000 ( N15 million) -the cost of a Range Rover and start flying people in the air-a flying coffin. “Aircraft are flying homes for people,” Campbell said. “They stay in the sky sometimes for 12 to 14 hours at a time and people have to eat and use the toilet and do almost everything else we normally do -- and all of those facilities are in there. They’re built along with lighting and climate control, everything. “What I’m trying to demonstrate is that the conversion process can be really very simple and straightforward. If people want something different (inside), they can always redecorate.” Source:http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/16/12605486-lifelong-layover-old-jets-being-recycled-as-homes?lite Edited by Poster. 5 Likes

Am sure the DANA cum Idian mogul will find this for another experiment within the Nigerian Airspace, since they claim that the life/performance of an aircraft does not matter but that it all depends on maintenance. |

alaoeri: Oyinbo no see wetin he gö take money do again.No bro, the oyibo is far advanced in waste management than us, unlike in 9ja, they find use for junk airplanes instead of littering their airports with them. It is one of the latest trends in Architecture (conversion of disused containers, buses, airplane and other junk to useful living space) it is called cargotecture, you can google it for more information. 6 Likes |

I wish i could get one among those rotten Okada planes at Benin Airport, they are just their occupying space without anything done about them, most of those planes could be converted to shelter, hotel or even recreational centers for young kids...we need to be innovative in this country. 2 Likes |
