For anyone who has ever wanted to own a 727

A man from El Paso, Texas, is on a mission to move and fully refurbish a derelict 59-year-old Boeing 727 that he and his brother bought for $10,000. When the massive project is finished, 40-year-old Ismael Lara tells Popular Science that he hopes the plane can serve as an educational tool and visual attraction to bring more excitement to his hometown.
