20+ years ago, I helped on a heavy maintenance check on this plane, when it was still flying. Nice to see that it wasn't cut up to be used as scrap metal!

The deck on the wing is a fabulous idea! I suggest you call it the Wing Deck...

[@stevenkaskus6173]

This was a great video and if I were wanting to become a experienced bush pilot this would be the school to attend especially with the accomodations you are providing. Great job and wish you every success.

[@jenniferdyke3335]

How cool to live each day enjoying your hobby and vocation as one. Congrats on your success! I really enjoyed seeing what you did to make the airplane resort/home style comfortable. 😃❤️

[@markcollins5026]

nice I would have put in some more windows or port holes so you could see the scenery !

[@theawesomer]

Love this! Maybe I can finally sleep comfortably in an airplane.

[@lrparrish227]

I am a retired cargo pilot and really enjoyed the video. A very cool place for sure. Thanks for keeping the spirit alive!

[@sitabarry7739]

How long you retired ? can you still fly a plane alone ? Just curious

[@revdupartist9386]

The flight school must be doing well. That’s a lot a cheddar…for each plane.

[@SunflowerandtheBussLady]

That is really awesome! You thought of everything to make it sturdy, safe, unique and homey!

[@Mammaj1963]

Doesn’t look homey to me at all

[@AiraRukawa]

This is the 2nd or 3rd airplane home I’ve seen and it’s the very 1st one that’s not cluttered.

[@TheSabine2005]

I'm glad you like this book. It sounds like a very useful and informative resource for shed-building enthusiasts. kzbin.infoUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The author seems to have a lot of experience and knowledge on how to build sheds of different styles and purposes. You must have learned a lot from his tips and examples. The photos are also impressive, they demonstrate the quality and beauty of the sheds. The book itself is also well-made, with glossy, thick paper and a soft cover that is pleasant to touch. This book is a wonderful choice. blush

[@scable-eq7bp]

Makes you wonder what they did before they got into aviation to be able to drop $800,000 on this plane. It's a pretty cool concept.......

[@Chris_at_Home]

Just moving it had to be a huge expense. I used to travel all over Alaska for work and probably saw this plane in the air years ago. This is only a few miles from where I have lived the last 44 years.

[@Chris_at_Home]

Does he ever say? Some commercial pilots make over a half million a year. I know a few that have bought or created expensive businesses with their wages.

[@jerryf4806]

It is not fantastic….more like stupid $800000, but good luck nice folks living a dream🤔

[@TexasTactical81]

Nah, I’m gonna say this was probably the dumbest way to spend your hard earned money. $800,000 for 700 sq ft of narrow space in a useless airplane. And the work that was done to it for the price was between mediocre and horrible. Would’ve made more sense to build a second home and purchase a 2nd small plane for training purposes.

[@ehkartist]

@@TexasTactical81 I totally agree. The look on his girlfriend's face said it all.

[@jeroberts7228]

Talk about unique 😳, and Alaska is such a wild and beautiful place to begin with! It's so fascinating that those two pilots have done ALL of this - the plane accommodations (amazing!), the flight school and the runways... Whoa! It boggles the mind, for sure.

[@mikeguthrie5432]

Wow! Back in 1966, I worked on those DC-6Bs for United Air Lines. I loved working on them I was 'sheetmetal/structural repair" mechanic. I also worked on B-727s, DC-8s CV- 340s, Caravelles, and more. Glad to see that old bird put to good use up there. "Happy Flying"!

[@bonniestillwater6859]

Wow 😃 What a unique and amazing idea for a home, which can also one day be a museum of an older airplane. Their incredible imagination is inspiring 😊

[@marylivich6058]

This is the most fascinating home that I have ever seen! ♥️

[@jsmann8949]

Wow! I flew that plane back in the early 90’s.

[@annajohns738]

Not keen on having no windows in either bedroom. House needs some finishing touches. Not for me.

[@1trueloveforever]

This is a really awesome renovation . I love it !!

[@mscarlarn]

What an incredible build. Love it!!!

[@sherylstory7809]

I would go insane in there

[@BadgerDevil]

I love this, I think it's fantastic. The only issue I have is it's not mobility-impaired friendly. I have found a lot of tour adventures to be not mobility-friendly. There are so many tours I would like to have saved up for and taken, but most do not accommodate wheelchairs, especially motorized ones.

[@brianmoore4299]

The gentleman is a very good speaker. He described that build like a real professional.

[@charlie1567]

Beautiful design but it would have been nice if they had kept / added a few top cabinets to give it that retro aircraft feeling.

[@kimcarpentier9007]

Absolutely creative and stunning

[@anjakellenjeter]

A lift outside of that huge cargo door would be cool - making their space accessible.

[@sjanosco]

I would have liked to hear more from Stephanie.

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

It’s such a shame that it is so basic at such an expensive cost to acquire it! It could be stunning if you were to get an interior designer involved and I am confident you would have the money to have done that. So…………. Just do it! It’s wonderful that you have been able to realise your dream! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marieneu264]

Wow! This is amazing. Wish it wasn’t so far away so I could see the outside in person. Looks much bigger than 700 square feet.

[@purplefireweed]

Cool cool, so much fun and lots of love and engineering.. The cold greige color scheme is less than homey for my taste. But I guess 'homey' wasn't part of the goal. What a place to go to flight school!

[@ejs6010]

Interesting build for this aircraft. Innovative!

[@freefab-wt5rt]

Fantastic work !!!

[@jaybee8547]

Very dour - grey & beige - inside.😶 Plus the add on buildings are unexciting (should've hired an architect). Recommend WD40 for that squeaky door.

[@shiralleehaggart72]

Agree the interior could have done with having a bit more colour to it to make it look more welcoming more so when the weather is dreary outside. These soulless interiors are done to death now.

[@JRs-Garage]

That is the coolest tiny home , absolutely love it , they should contact Mike patey and get him to sponsor first flights with this couple!

[@kerimabrown5404]

That’s pretty cool!

[@theuglykwan]

What a passion project! Some missed opportunities in terms of interior design I feel. Could have been more aero themed as it was standard design inside. The seating area could have had first class couches facing a wall with the tv and a fold down shelf on the wall. Doorbell switch could have been the "call attendant" button. They should have had one of those attendant carts as a mobile bar!

[@ttguitarnoob]

Yeah the interior is horrendous. Needs some decorating lol. Looks like a narrow hospital corridor

[@DodLDec]

Great idea, but I think they would do some landscaping around the plane, maybe some kind of sidewalk area.

[@BadgerDevil]

They are still working on it.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.... Wow !! A fantastic use of repurposing a structural unit into something functional ..... I grew up north of Denver , Co. and there was a commercial aircraft fuselage built into a roadside diner ... It was pretty cool to see .... in the area of Erie,Co. .... Don't know what current status of it is ,,if it's still around ... this was late '60's --early '70's .... Building one is a huge undertaking but multiples ?? WOW !! ..

Do you close the cockpit off in the winter?
