BIG LAKE, Alaska —

It's been 10 years since this Boeing 727 cargo jet has flown. It has served as a sample plane for airline mechanics in training since.

But now, Jon Kotwicki, the owner of FLY8MA flight training school in Big Lake, Alaska, has big plans for this plane.

"It will serve as student housing for students who are coming to do flight training with us from afar, as well as an Airbnb," Kotwicki said.

Before the plane can serve as a temporary home, it has to make its new location, which will require towing it down public roads.

"This was the first airliner I know of this can be towed along Glenn (Highway)," Kotwicki said. "This will be going about 10 to 15 miles per hour."

Kotwicki says he hopes to have the plane ready to be an Airbnb within the next 12 to 16 months.
