Could bring a whole new meaning to the term “mobile home ” !
Just thinking of all those WW2 aircraft and gliders that ended up as homes, garages and sheds , wondering what other uses could be found for some of these modern day bone-yard occupants !

There is also a 727 in the states dome up as a home. I think it was formerly with Varig?

I think I shall try for a stay in the Sweden Jumbo Hostel in Arlanda
I think I shall try for a stay in the Sweden Jumbo Hostel in Arlanda Stockholm
There was an oldie (very old) titled “Asleep at the wheel).
A stay in the Sweden Jumbo Hostel in the cockpit would add a whole new dimension to “Asleep at the stick” or ” A variation on theme of auto pilot”
Thanks for posting Newforest

what film was it where the line ‘don’t you feel like you spend your life living on a plane?’ was used!

To quote the article: “This Ilyushin 18 plane, built in 1960, was originally used by the Dutch government to transport officials. Three decades later, it began serving as a restaurant. It stayed in the food business until Hotelsuites.nl, which must have been impressed with its resume, acquired it in 2007. “
Good ‘ol fact checking at work! The plane even still has its original East German registration (you know, the one saying DDR) to further complicate life for the writers of dumb articles.
