It looks like it could easily fall off of it's front supports, it wouldn't be too difficult to build a concrete brace to hold that section up. It looks like it's tethered to prevent it from falling and rolling down the hill. It would probably survive, the occupant might be injured and everything in the aircraft broken though.
I would definitely turn the cockpit into an awesome office, rip out (and sell) most of the lower instruments and put a rounded desk. Clear out the trees in front of it a little so there is a nice view.
This one has an amazing view: http://www.costaverde.com/727.htm http://www.costaverde.com/727.htm
Much more high-quality images of the original aircraft: http://airplanehome.com/Images/14Jun2003ImagesCatalog.htm http://airplanehome.com/Images/14Jun2003ImagesCatalog.htm
Also, he's willing to throw down 400k on a 747, is it possible to purchase them for that cheap? http://www.airplanehomev2.com/ http://www.airplanehomev2.com/

The freighter version would be great for building a home. The cost make it impractical but if you've got money to burn and really want to live in and maintain an aircraft then it would be very cool. The airplanehomev2.com site says there are several precautions that must be done such as keeping industrial dehumidifiers and things to clean up toxic fluid leaks.

- pimlottc 12y agoThe first picture seems to be an old photo; the Vimeo video later on shows the front resting on a more permanent structure just behind the wheel, which is also referenced in the article text.
