Project Freedom
Home 2012

Project Freedom began April 1st 2011. The original idea came from a show called "The Magician" in 1973 with Bill Bixby. Bill was a playboy philanthropist who used his magician skills to solve difficult crimes.  He used his Boeing 720 jetliner as a base of  operations; it was outfitted as a mobile residence.  At the end of the show he would drive his corvette into the back of the airplane and take off. The license plate was labeled "SPIRIT".

Below are a few pictures of the progress of the plane home I am building. I will have two airplanes. The MD-80 (labeled Freedom) of which is the first 60 feet will provide living quarters.  It has a master bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with a sitting area. The second airplane a DC-9-41 (labeled Spirit) will include a theater, music, arts and crafts room.

If you would like to take a tour you can sign up at  Airbnb Experiences  

As of November 24, 2012 I have moved into the airplane.  During the day there are lots of airplanes coming and going. At night its calm and peaceful with lots of stars above.
