Recycled Airplane Homes

The Wing House is an Abode Made from an Old 747 Jumbo Jet

This house is actually created and made out of an old 747 Boeing airplane. Quite possibly the coolest house I've ever heard of, the 'Wing House' is actually made from real plane parts. The airplane parts that didn't get the ol' heave-ho got reincarnated into spacious living for one lucky Californian woman.

The 'Wing House' will be completed at the end of this year and uses many different parts from an old 747 jumbo jet that have been deemed safe enough to be used as parts to live in. The eco-friendly 'Wing House' is a pretty cool way to introduce your house to friends. I wouldn't mind living in a old plane!
