100 days to Convert a PLANE into a HOUSE

[@goadyeyes]

Love seeing this DC-6 being put to another use. I worked on many of them (C-118’s) in a Navy cargo squadron over 50 years ago.

[@AkPacerPilot]

It’s been awesome to help with it and see the progress… I’m still amazed at how awesome they are turning out. Proud of the work you’re doing!

[@gregwhite7957]

Can’t wait to see the T-tail deck when finished. Hot tub on the wing tip of triple 8dg would be great.

[@christianmaas8934]

Man....bush flying cabin of the kings!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Yessir!

[@judys5638]

I admire this kind of creativity and repurposing, well done!!!!!

[@eugenetswong]

Way to go, Fly8MA! Congratulations on your success.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Thanks so much!

[@lloydedwards8038]

You and your working crew are ingenious. Congrats.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Thank you very much!

[@Blackswan19874]

Great video ! Thanks for such detail in all that it took to produce such an iconic use of a great old warrior plane !

[@GaryFlagg2-pc5lp]

If this isn't the apex of American ingenuity, I don't know what is! Super duper job, keep up the good work. Gary Flagg USAF vet. Buffalo, N.Y.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Thanks Gary! It's a ton of fun having the freedom here in Alaska to build stuff like this!

[@MJ-lm7ne]

Hope you put a video out once you get all the flight surfaces on

[@garthmicro]

Very interesting project and you did a very nice job describing the project. My compliments to you.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Thank you very much! Share it around for us!

[@franchescawetter8423]

Just came here from the epoch times write up. Amazing work!! Very cool.

[@schrempskynate8944]

Me too. This is amazing.😊

[@xxbambamxx7261]

Would be cool to have the engines on it as blast 😁 Maybe startable too 👀

[@xxbambamxx7261]

Oooh make it not a simulator in the cockpit, so you can practice when staying there.... Hmmmmm

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

That's the plan!

[@bigben1986]

You definitely have to be some kind of millionaire to afford all of this because this is not cheap, Non of it. But hey Kudos to you for doing it 3 times woww

[@Thrust-Set-Simulations]

Turned out great. Nice going 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rak37ful]

It looks so cool. Good job👍

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

I'm glad you like it

[@chocolateriveryarnsfibres3471]

Just amazing! Loved watching this.....thanks so much for doing/posting this. I would live in it in a heart beat!.....although.....maybe in AZ. haha

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lionelmcadams2128]

great job!!!

[@22flyer]

Nice!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

nice!

[@NicksStuff]

Is it really $4,500 a week?

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

The cost for 7 days in the DC-6 is $3,843 plus Airbnb's fees. airbnb.com/h/dc6

[@Mybeforenafters]

Great work, what this made me think most of is how many trips to Menards we make when doing a rehab. You certainly need to plan well with an unusual build AND remote location! ✈️ 🤔

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Absolutely

[@Dark_sea110]

I've seen a boeing 747 as a vacation resort. I'd love to see one as a residence. I just know that would be a huge house.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Our 727 is in place and getting prepped to build out for our briefing area, community kitchen, and coffee bar

[@toddpowers7720]

Should of made some wind generators were the motors were with fake props.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

great idea!

[@oldrecipfe]

N-888DG - I worked on this airplane for Don Gilbertson's Pacific Alaska Airlines at PAE and FAI many years ago.

[@si_vis_amari_ama]

A staircase inside a wide body section of fuselage fixed vertically, with the nosecone as the roof, would look awesome!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

That would be cool

[@cbshomebizplane]

Thanks for making me an idiot LoL talking to a friend at Everts about putting one on my property in North Pole LoL I miss working on those old birds. I am 65 and been flying since 1977 and no I don't have my license I had been flying on my student license until the paper license went away I was grounded. No people not good to fly the way I did but I was a mechanic, crewchief and flight engineer on CH47 Chinook helicopters in Alaska high altitude search and rescue so I have extreme experience above and beyond normal aviation people I spent 9 years in the Army six and half years flying in Alaska then back as civilian.

[@darcybanasiak7293]

I'm curious on the overall completed cost of one of these airplane houses vs a similar sized wood framed house.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Airplane house runs about $1,000/ sq ft, stick frame about $100-200/sq ft

[@nyrubin]

These videos aren’t getting as many views as you deserve!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Haha, thank you! Share them around if you can!

[@MJ-lm7ne]

Where did the funds come from generally asking

[@casandraoconnor7888]

I would like to see a cement runways being paved maybe upload resources to join your air Plane academy

[@aprilhamlincoln]

How do you find fuselage for sale? I cant find any. I just want the tube; no wings, engine, wiring, or seats. Halllllp

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Most aircraft wont be sold parted out, especially one this size. Maybe check an aircraft salvage yard?

[@mischka76]

How much did you pay for the aircraft?

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

We might consider to make a break down video on one of our planes in the future.

[@kevinwg02]

how come you're in the middle of nowhere ? how do you even own that kind of land ?

[@zachpan1468]

If you have a air strip, can you fly the airplane in instead of chopping it up and shipping by truck?

[@AkPacerPilot]

It’s pretty short and soft field, too short and too soft for those big birds.. great for landing big tire bush planes… the new crosswind strip is fantastic.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Good question but way to short of a runway

[@ildarmingazov2304]

Howzit! This is house for aviation Hobbits because they like round shape :) But the doors out of mainstream Thanks

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Correct!

[@troll101troll]

There are lots of people had done large planes for AIR BNB. Don't be that guy as a youtuber who think they have money and be cocky about it. Won't be subscribing to this channel. kzbin.info?search_query=airplane+house kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnmViKmsmZtsgpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXfLmZyXqqx3Y6c

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Are there people in the past who have converted airplanes into homes? Yes. But there are only a handful in the world that you can stay in as a Airbnb and even less have showed an audience the process of said conversion.

[@troll101troll]

@@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 There you go. So your not the only one that you made it sound like you're a top dawg with the idea just like all other comments. Therefor you lost yourself with subscriber for being cocky
