There is a converted 747 at Arlanta airport in Sweden, theyy have turned it in to a low cost youth hotel including what they call the bridal suite in the old cockpit.

There are quite a few houses made out of aircraft around the world. I saw one in Iceland last year. I believe there are a couple in the USA that are mounted on bearings on pylons so they can rotate with the wind.

Here's a company that provides 727-200s on rotating stands as houses. Optional Microsoft Flight Simulator wired into the cockpit controls!
