Fox News recently profiled a very unusual Malibu home made out of an old Pam Am / Tower Air 747 aircraft. Apparently, the builder bought the old aircraft for about US$35,000 and given the aircraft’s lightweight and the fact that the materials are recycled, an architect was able to turn it into a very “green home.” However, it took a helicopter, a crane and clearance from 17 different government agencies to bring in the 195 feet wingspan as a roof along with 4.5 million additional parts. Moreover, the homeowner had to register the home with the FAA so that other aircraft don’t mistake it for a downed aircraft!
