    The 727 pictured is in Costa Rica, as part of the Costa Verde Hotel: http://www.costaverde.com/727.html ($500/night).

    I went to the Odee.com website and the picture there isn’t the same as the picture above that I made my comment above about.

    I’ve seen pictures of this before and I can’t remember what country it was is, but it ain’t in Mississippi.

    $24k to renovate? as someone in the building industry for 30+ years, I don’t buy it for a second. It is WAY cool however, and if I could do something similar, I would in a heartbeat… I’d just leave more of the plane intact.
