Is there an aircraft hostel in Canada or USA?

Question

Today we talked about hostels in funny locations, e.g. old prisons. Since I'm going to Canada and USA very soon, I would really like to spend some nights in an old aircraft that is now a hostel. Is there anything like that?

Answer 1

I think the closest you can get would be a "Helicopter" cottage at Winvian, though it's a bit on the expensive side.

There are plenty of treehouses and Wigwams though. :)

Answer 2

OK, some time, so I've found the three best candidates that I can, although not all are entire planes...or in planes...

1. First up, we have the Floridian Fly-in home + aircraft - you can rent a home, which comes WITH a plane and pool!

   

2. Next, Hughes' Cosmic Muffin. This is a plane that was owned by Howard Hughes, now converted into ... a house boat. The website is horrific, but the photos are really interesting.

   

3. Finally, some have their Malibu Beach House, but here we have the Malibu Wing House. About 4.5 million parts recycled from an old Boeing 747 were re-purposed to create this environmentally sustainable home, and the front portion of the fuselage and the upper first class cabin deck are used to shelter the guest house.

   

As for a hostel, no, sorry, no luck so far aside from the one in Stockholm, but will keep looking!
