"I found this property while chatting on the internet about the Silohome," said Donald Peters of Burnet, Texas, whose company IwillSELLyourSTUFF.com markets high-end products for people on eBay. I immediately called Thomas Bennington, owner of Max Power Aerospace, Inc. (maxpoweraero.com) and asked him if I could sell his airplane homes on eBay"
The Airplane Home can be custom built on the inside to the owners taste. Current airplane windows can be converted into 6 curved glass windows. The wings can be turned into decks complete with handrails. Rooms can be built and arranged to taste. The 727 fuselage is 1,210 sf and the wings can hold 70 people and is 1,200 sf. Max Power Aerospace, Inc. also has much larger wide-body airplanes in their inventory.
We have essentially created a hurricane proof home" Said Mr. Bennington, You and your family could actually stay in the aircraft and fly" through a hurricane. We think that these could be very practical houses in areas such as The Outer Banks and along the Florida coastline."
Mr. Benningtons company supplies used aircraft parts to the airlines and aircraft owners throughout the country. Once he has removed all of the necessary parts he is left with a large empty fuselage. He always thought that converting the leftover airplane into a home, bar or restaurant would be much better than cutting it up and scraping it. Through patented technology his company is offering a complete Airplane Home that sits 20 off the ground and can rotate manually or weathervane into the wind. You supply the location, and he will supply the home. Each Airplane Home will be shipped from their Smyrna, TN location.
I may be biased because I was an Army Aviator, but when I first saw the initial photos of this aircraft, I thought this would make a really cool bar and could envision one of these in every city" Said Mr. Peters, I think it would be a way for everyone to be in first class."
Max Power Aerospace, Inc. has plenty 727s ready for conversion. The first Airplane Home is currently under construction and will be completed in 60 days. The owner is a lottery winner and wants to spend her twilight years living in something unique and unusual. The normal cost is $300K for one of these homes depending on location -- the one offered on eBay can be had for much, much less.
