He removed all the seats

The retired electrical engineer in refurbishing the aircraft removed all its seats and added a shower for bathing.

He also added other household necessities to the now turned house, as seen in a video shared by UNILAD Tech.

He now stays in the aeroplane 6 months in a year. The aeroplane's cockpit is where he does his reading.

Bruce believes old planes should be turned into homes

The old man believes all old planes should be made into homes to prevent them from being wasted.

In his words:

"Shedding a beautiful and scintillating jetliner is a tragedy in waste, and a profound waste of human imagination."

People react to the look of the aeroplane

Andrew Breckon commented:

"Great idea, but it cost a total of 220k and not to mention you need a huge chunk of land to put it on. It's not exactly beautiful or affordable plus the interior is awful."

Kathleen Ketchell wrote:

"Great concept but I would clear those trees from around that plane where I'm from we back burn so properties don't burn down when it's summer saves a lot of homes this way."

Sylvana Rodriguez opined:

"This is not the best idea. Depending where you put the plane. In Arizona it will last forever but if it is placed in a tropical area kiss it good bye. Not convenient at all. I have seen school buses remodeled better than this. It doesn't even look like a home inside. This guy is single. A woman would not tolerate this."

Alan Smolin thought:

"He spent 1/4 million just to buy it and get it there. Could've built a nice cabin or home appropriate for the woods. The plane Could've been dismantled for scrap if he's so worried about recycling. Illogical but to each his own."
