Hopefully the wind doesn't pick up or we could have a real life Wizard of Oz moment....


Certainly a very interesting idea although they are certainly going to have a lot of fun transporting the wings into their final resting place.

A company will install them for you for about 200k. These are old 707's which give you about 1100 square feet of space. The wings can be used as a patio. The engines are removed of course. Seems like a 747 would be a big chunk to move and set up, the purchase of the plane is just the beginning.
