This is a cool idea, but I wonder how people are going to get onto the deck on the rear tail. I don’t see a ladder or anything.

I suspect the ladder, or stairs are inside the tail section.

I would not want to stay in these during the winter.

But there isn't any place to emerge from inside the tail section. Hidden trap door?

I wouldn't want to carry up any chairs or tables to that deck.

I don’t think that is a real picture, just a mock drawing showing what the vision is.

Here in Oregon there is already an old 727 that has been converted into a home. It is over in Hillsboro on the other side of the Portland metro area. It is a popular place for local HS kids to go and get their graduation or prom pictures taken.



Here is the owner's web site. He is quite the local character: https://airplanehome.com/

It's obviously a computer graphic, but wouldn't someone put the trap door or ladder in their mock up?

Oh, it’s there. It’s a narrow rope ladder (or a knotted rope), just out of view. Crawl under the railing. Very high brow, avant-garde design.

I would be hesitant to sit on that deck if a stiff wind was blowing. It would blow everyone off the deck unless they were tied down with a harness.
