Ever wonder what happens to airplanes after they are retired? The scrapyard is the most common place. If it is in good working order, perhaps sold over seas or to a private buyer. But a select few get transformed into personal residences, hotels, hostels, and cafes. For instance the boat-plane to the left. For some other interesting examples of transformed airplanes, click here.

I remember a story of a woman who got the body of a 727 or something. It was pretty cool.

I knew a woman who had the body of a dirigible.

Yes and she was ugly too. Why would a woman want the body of a 727?

Too bad that Boeing Stratocruiser was turned into a boat, there are no surviving examples of the aircraft except for Guppy aerospace transport conversions.

Those are all pretty cool. I remember the one Saddam Hussein had in Salman Pak that he used to train terrorists.

Well, if you can’t have the body of a 27, you can settle for the body of a 727.
