    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. And he already has a name in mind: “Hangar Hangout.”

    “I really want it to be an attraction, like a destination for anybody traveling through,” Lara said. “It’s more like a passion project if you think about it because it’s cool as heck.”

      A town just north of where I live has a rocket on their town common. A picture I took last month when I went to donate clothes:

        I cannot say I have ever wanted a used jet liner. I'm really more of a yacht or Gulfstream guy.

            A Georgian English country house and a Bentley person myself.

            I'm going to need a base Porsche 911 for practical errands, too.

            Thank you.

                For a split second I thought they'd added a steeple to their church 😆
