Woman Turns Boeing Plane Into Fully Functional Home

Buses, small houses, and shipping containers have all seen a surge in appeal as potential building materials for one-of-a-kind dwellings. These alternatives to standard lodgings offer the same level of comfort at a fraction of the price and with a wide range of personalization options. But Jo Ann Ussery made her own unique house long before it was cool.

She lived in the plane from 1995 to 1999 when it was sadly destroyed after accidentally falling off the back of truck while being moved to a new location, where it would have sat for public display. Ms Ussery's renovation of the plane went on to inspire other plane enthusiasts. Reading her story in the late 1990s electrical engineer Bruce Campbell was awed.
