I would totally do this. I would also build a cockpit simulator in the cockpit and place a curved projector screen outside the cockpit windows. and play flight simulator all day in a real aircraft. That's the dream... :)
What a beautiful story and Tammi Arender, whoa she's a Gorgeous women xo. Feel her genuine smile and speech when old mate finishes that song. Hi from Australia.
Miss you Grandpa. I was shocked to see the plane you took me to jump out of for my birthday on this video. I won't forget staying at your plane when my dad brought our family to visit. I won't ever forget listening to you play. See you when it's my turn to come to the other side. I love you Grandpa.
Depends, if you have a buddy with a plane hauling service that owes you a huge favor, it might not have cost much at all. BUT in any case, if he got the plane cheap it sure looks like it's going to be one hell of a big house in the end! Pennies on the dollar really.
I am actually in the process of getting an old Convair jet liner. I have a friend that owns a crane business, and another one with over sized / extremely large low-boy flat bed semis. This is exactly what I am planning on doing with it.
It sure pays to have friends in the right places don't it? Good job on getting the Convair, are we talking the 880? Very fine looking plane if so. Hope you have good luck with it in any case.
Yes, this story needs a magic element, like, "the plane was still flew so I landed it in this remote forest with little trouble, at night actually". One of those military helicopters could pick up pieces of it. A dirigible perhaps? There are more in the Nevada desert. Musk would figure out a way to get it out of there that no one else would think of. If you planned the move at night, you could probably 'lift' one and they wouldn't notice it missing there are so many out there. How hard would it be to make one float?
How beautiful the day u dont want it can i have it so i can leave there with my only daughter...I love airplane always wanted to be a pilot but my parents couldn't afford my classes.
it's a marvelous story ! My impression of that is - only to the external look - the "broken - or cutted nose" is not esthetical. I know there was a place for instrumentations, but, why not to build a "false nose" by PVC, glass fiber or whatelse ! It would be much more pretty.
There is another plane home in the US. If he’s still there Bruce Campbell built his home in the woods near Portland Oregon out of a 727. But his is nowhere near as nice as this one!
he's living the American dream to be able to afford that much land space and big trailers to haul big airplane parts, and for the price of buying that plane he could have had 20 trailers therefore having a house 4 times bigger.
Has to be the best decor in a liveable plane i've seen so far.
@Lloyd Gittens Possibly,he may have put insulation in the walls.
@Rebecca Buschhorn Thanks Rebecca, it's awesome!!!
Ms. Buschhorn But that plane was turned into an hotel, not a house.
This one's cool ruclips.net/video/bdwLlI9abgU/видео.html
As a pilot myself I'm jealous! I could so live in one of these!
I like this guy! Also like his singing. The best decor of a house plane I have ever seen!
OMG, I love him! And he said motor sickle. ❤️
woow, amazing story about the life of this guy!!!!!. i like people like that who pursues their dreams and make it true.
YES!
I never had my own home and always wanted to have a plane.This guy got both.
He followed his dreams to accomplish it. Only fair, I’d say. After all, home is where the heart is.
Royally , a cool cat , original man and following his dreams kudos brother
I would totally do this. I would also build a cockpit simulator in the cockpit and place a curved projector screen outside the cockpit windows. and play flight simulator all day in a real aircraft.
That's the dream... :)
...or... you could just learn to fly for real...
That brought a tear to my eye . Thanks for living your dream.
This needs to be on airbnb 😫🥰
What a terrific man! So sad I did not know about this before he passed. RIP
I'm gonna live in a C-5 Galaxy or a A400M one day. I LOOOOVE airplanes.
I would consider this home when I will retire.
CarePeergays
My brother and i lived in front of this property. We made many trips to this plane. Its awesome to see it finished.
Roberttanner Roberttanner i wish i leave there if front of him i would never get tired of seeing it.
What happened to this beautiful plane is it still in Ashland City, I would love to see this!! I live in Chapmansboro Tn
That's awesome! I really love it. Good for you, Red. :)
A quick trip through youtube would tell them that he is not the only one in the US living in a jet.
Robert Drake I think this was made in the 90s though, he could have been the only one back then.
cause youtube and google are always right and true?
You'd be right Robert..some other nuts video of his plane home is what brought me here. One thing I noticed is both these guys seem to be single
The joys of being single are countless, you can always rent companionship if you care to.
T4C lol I saw that video too.
so cool! I worked for an airlines. I would love to live in an aircraft!
He looks more like Kenny Rogers than Kenny Rogers does
I've actually flown over his house, very cool looking from the sky! Makes me kinda want one lol
instaBlaster...
This guy is terrific - he has found simplicity through sticking to his own standards. Hats off to Red.
Brilliant idea. These old aircraft make good homes
This plain house is so beautiful and nice inside I love it the guy make me want to live in a plan too
Use be a f/a on a DC8 stretch...my favorite aircraft...you go boy!
Since he died in 2015, I wonder what became of this plane.
What a beautiful story and Tammi Arender, whoa she's a Gorgeous women xo.
Feel her genuine smile and speech when old mate finishes that song.
Hi from Australia.
Red is ... a man of my own heart and mind.
Hope you kept the original insulation. I'm told it is 50% more effective than your typical house insulation.
Good for you! Great way to use an abandoned plane.
i at least hope he turned the cockpit into a kick ass flight simulator
I would love one totally running and intact. I want all the avionics engines everything. Even the APU but I will stick to my Van Hool motorcoach.
If a stranger goes inside is he consider a home burglary or plain highjackeer?
Both? 😂
Plane hijacker lol 🤣 🤣 🤣
I have 2500 hours on a USAF EC-121 (Lockheed Super Constellation)... I understand EXACTLY how he feels.
Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely Wonderful
Nice to meet you Red, always liked the song!
Nice. Love these stories.
Lucky man. I always wake up wishing I was someplace else.
Miss you Grandpa. I was shocked to see the plane you took me to jump out of for my birthday on this video. I won't forget staying at your plane when my dad brought our family to visit. I won't ever forget listening to you play. See you when it's my turn to come to the other side. I love you Grandpa.
What a neat idea!!! I'm still going to build my tiny home....
There is also a guy in Oragon that has been living in a 727 for 11 years. He's on You Tube also.
That opening theme is like the most local cable TV show ever
How many of tens of thousands of dollars did it cost for the 4 semi truck flat beds to haul it all?

Doesn't matter when you write #1 records

First Class!
This is a cool way to live, afterall people are furnishing shipping boxes!
My dad told me about this idea of using a old airplane and converting it into a house a longtime ago.
A true American Hero!
It's like living in a hallway.
This is something I’ve always wanted to do.
I love your house Sir.
He seems like a very happy man.
Oh yes
I would think the insulation would be great lol
I love that song...:)
How beautiful the day u dont want it can i have it so i can leave there with my only daughter...I love airplane always wanted to be a pilot but my parents couldn't afford my classes.
This is my dream!!

Now thats my future dream.
Hey, Red, do you know what the MSN - line # of the plane is, operators when it flew, etc? Nice job on the inside, too! Timco sell it to you?
So, what happens when the tires eventually deflate and the plane sinks 6 inches onto the structure beneath?
How much does it cost to move one of those?
Awesome Love your home! Love it!
I just watched one where a man in Oregon lives in a plane a 747 I think.
Aviation is a way of life
Where the cockpit clip in the video? I wanna see if the cockpit has actual instruments.
There is another plane home in the US. If he’s still there Bruce Campbell built his home in the woods near Portland Oregon out of a 727. But his is nowhere near as nice as this one!
Hes house is sooo creative
AHHH im so jealous!!
My plane crash ptsd jumped out. I couldn’t do this unfortunately.
Beautiful ...
theres a man in oregon living in a 727 as well.
never - ever wake and wanted to be somewhere else. there's a song in there somewhere.
Is this the guy from power nation
Looks like a mobile home inside
I would love to live in that if it can fly then see the sky in it
Amazing!
I want that mechanic to build an active Grumman Albatross house for me
I won't mind leaving here.
Love the basement!
1981 ! You were born yet ? ! Looking good !
wow!! I'm superjealous!
Παύλος Μουντρής OP
Wowe i like you airplane house
BEAUTIFUL
Which airline did this plane fly for?
Great way to live.
I agree I love it !!!!
I would rather have seen more of the plane. Her gazing at him adoringly while he sang was too much.
Congratulations Red. I envy you. Bruce in BC.
Bruce Blake a fellow British Columbian here also envious.
Sadly, he passed away.
Bruce Blake gays
JaydenIV really?
Its just like living in a giant trailer
That's totally fucking awesome
Great guy!
love this
So cool
He is not the only one living in a plane in America, I know of 3 including him.
R Cac, this clip is from 2011.
How much was the airplane
he's living the American dream to be able to afford that much land space and big trailers to haul big airplane parts, and for the price of buying that plane he could have had 20 trailers therefore having a house 4 times bigger.
looks like first class through out the plane
what was the cost of this ?
i would like to live in a wide body jet that would be cool
Loving life.
It's the guy from powerblock tv!
the intro/logo alone is so 90's it's gonna be good.
*moment later*
what kind of conversion os this. they're using that poor Dougie as a roof...
