Woman Turns Boeing Plane Into Fully Functional Home

Jo Ann Ussery’s Unique Living Solution In 1993, Jo Ann Ussery faced the challenge of finding a new home for herself and her children after her house was destroyed in Mississippi.

She bought the Boeing 727 for £1,500

With limited finances, she couldn’t afford a suitable trailer, but her brother-in-law suggested a unique idea – living in a decommissioned Boeing 727 airplane.

Transforming the Boeing 727 Ussery purchased the entire plane, including shipping costs, for just $2,000 and spent around $30,000 refurbishing it into her dream home.
