I worked on that aircraft for years as a mechanic, then flew it for more years as a pilot.
thats amazing!
how are they built?
@@subaruamazon......
@@subaruamazon there is google and TH-cam videos😉
@@subaruamazoni think in a factory, but i could be wrong.
This is a former Air-Borne Express DC9 N952AX that I worked on at KMSY in the 90's glad to see it is going to a good cause,
That's awesome! come visit when it's done!
Honestly didn’t come into the video expecting to learn about the logistical nightmare that transporting this behemoth was. Thanks for explaining that. Kudos to you for seeing it through.
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for updates on the reassembly and construction!
That was an airplane we used to work on in Wilmington OH during the ABX air days prior to 2008 very cool
Come visit when it's done!
My dad was a pilot on that very aircraft. Glad to see it going to a good home
That's pretty cool! Come check it out when the construction is done: th-cam.com/video/1v0oxD4DlAk/w-d-xo.html
I am absolutely dying watching that jet get towed down the road! What an awesome idea! I think the DHL livery makes it even more hilarious because you can't miss it. Might have to book a trip up there :)
Come up and visit us!
@@jonkotwicki As soon as I get my PPL wrapped up! (Getting close). I'll need to get a tailwheel endorsement somehow :)
Very cool. Ive always wanted to convert an L-1011 into a house.
Are there any left to do that with?
Omg I want to see that happen the l1011 is such a cool plane
I've always wanted one of the late '70s DC-10s, or Boeing 747, they were so luxurious that there's nothing built today to even compare it to
5:44 I bet that crane operator had to change his pants after that tail swung toward him. 🤣
LMAO!! I got to work on that exact airplane when I worked for DHL! Congrats on your new house!
She is live on Airbnb! www.airbnb.com/rooms/908681227751910215?source_impression_id=p3_1704493187_qP1Y1k3OseIApd9N
727 is probably one of the coolest models to do this with. I'm surprised there's still one left in flying condition. Kinda sucks to cut it up.
I mean, there is still a hand full of 727s actually flying
Aerosucre still has some...for now
This is an dc9 bro
@@Guy_in_the_comments75 did you even watch the entire video?
@@truekisokahe meant at the end when a 727 is teased for a future project.
So insanely cool Jon! Good luck with the all of these projects. It will be unique and an aviator's dream!
Awesome work, you guys are really creating something unique and special. So much cooler than your typical flight school and I'm sure you'll do fantastically! Not to mention, as frustrating as that stuff can be, I'm sure it's a blast creating something for you and others to enjoy for years to come!
Shoulda bought Jimmy's world Elvis plane. Bet he'd be willing to dump that mistake bigly.
No kidding. Buying the Elvis jet was a fool’s errand.
lol
Well he just bought a old fedex 727 sooo
@@cubbles5689well there goes another one 🫡
@@cubbles5689it's DHL not fedex
Very cool. I’ve got a lot of hours in that exact plane.
We hope you come see it when its completed!
WOW! N952AX, I worked on that DC9 when at ABX Air in KILN. Glad you saved her!
I live 15-20 miles from Wilmington Air Park.
Wild projects, Jon! Love it!
Probably one of the best videos I’ve watched. Been watching your content for years and this was fantastic content! Looking forward to see more!
What a great project. It's going to be fantastic!
you have a great knack for making complex topics fun! ♂️
Awesome stuff, John! Looking forward to visiting:)
Wow this in insane!! I haven’t come across your channel in years you where stuck on a cruise ship last time aha !! Now you doing this. You two never cease to amaze me enjoy your new adventure
Welcome back!
Im a CASA Cpl_H, FAA -PPL H
really looking forward to doing my fix wing add on, really makes me wish i could get over to you guys, Maybe in a few years ill come up and over and do some training, it really does look awesome!!
Keep it up and keep us updated with the projects!
You’re wild man! Cool to see your plan come together! We’ll have to visit when you have it set up.
Man it’s coming along… so proud of you guys!
Thank you!
This -41 started out in Japan for Toa airways in 1974, then JAS, then ABX. Pretty cool old bird.
That N952AX (november 952 alpha x ray) was involved in an incident on jan 9 2009 where it tipped onto its tail because of ice buildup.. this airframe’s story is interestiiing
You should see how much snow and ice built up she has on her now from just sitting in AK
This is so awesome! I hope to someday come up here and stay and maybe do some training. So incredible!
Awesome project ✈️ a house made of a DC9 👏🏻 looking forward to to see it
Coming soon!
POV: Using a DC10 with its almost 6m wide cabin
I was a loadmaster for Airborne Express on their YS-11's and then DC9's in norfolk,va back in late 80's early 90's.
I worked on that plane when I was interning at ABX Air! So good to see it didn't end up scrapped ❤
We got her here now for her new life: th-cam.com/video/1v0oxD4DlAk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing
The MD80 next to it was probably getting nervous it’ll become a house too lol
Haha...it would make for a nice shiny house!
Man, this would be an awesome opportunity. I wish I wasn't tied down and could re-locate to take advantage of it!
My dream is to become a pilot and I have over 10 years of construction experience and I am mechanically inclined I will work for exchange for schooling. I'm currently doing your online training and what your doing is so cool!!!!
What an awesome idea stay the course!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Man gets injured, luckily no one was injured 😂
Thanks for the video.
You Bet!
I see all of those rivets on the wings and all I can think of is how much of a "riveting" job it must be to assemble one of these giants.
Amazing bro!
Glad you like it!
fun fact the wing on the tail is called the elevator and thet helps the plane ascend and descend
I bet that AA MD-80 probably thinking Am I next?😳😨
Holy! That is a dream come true.
It's a fun project! Excited for it to be done: th-cam.com/video/1v0oxD4DlAk/w-d-xo.html
Nice job done by all of you, and man that truck driver tall.
Thanks 👍
Looking forward to your journey, cheers from Bundaberg.
Much appreciated
Bundaberg ginger beer is my favourite
if it was a house and could fly at the same time (if its not too old) it will be slick, like just a flying home with wings and engines, i guess everyone's gonna mistake it for a commercial plane
I would have loved to do the same on my fav aircraft...L1011s. Loved them when flying a lot in the 80's.
Bro is a beast
Ever looked at getting that northwest dc9 in Holt, MN that basically just has the tail and fuselage left of it?
Let's see this, going to be interesting
Dc9 is my favorite jet❤
Very cool
WOW
Awesome 😂I passed you guys in Willow.
DC-9 used to have a tail stairway. Would make a cool entrance.
I love the dc-9/md-80/90/B717! I wanna live in a plane now
It's a pretty sweet house! Here's the update where we are at with construction: th-cam.com/video/1v0oxD4DlAk/w-d-xo.html
you should by the C-119 thats at anchorage parked in the back 40 pver by the old gaurd base... the musem ownes it they were taking offers.. lots of room to put whatever in it
Um, did you see who the new owner is as of last week??? ;)
15:45
that's weirdly high off the ground for a low-floor trailer....
why transport it by sections when you could use it to your advantage and fly it?
Wow, now *that's* what you call a project! Seeing this a year post-upload through a YT suggestion - How well did it work out? 🙂
One thing I'm curious about, given you have your own runway on site: It's obvious the DC-9 wasn't anywhere near airworthy (Kinda hard to fly a plane with no engines! 😉) so taking it by road makes a lot of sense...But if it had been airworthy, would it have been cheaper to fly it if it was expired and a temporary certificate (etc) had to be issued for the purpose? 😇
Greetings from FAB! ✈🇬🇧👋
👋I have done almost 20 years of heavy civil construction and ran all sorts of equipment🚜 ... college bachelors degree📚 ... also have my IGI and AGI✈. and of course would love to learn more about video editing 🎥
my checkride is coming up and then I'm available to help
thank you❤ for all of your videos for getting me this far !
Send over a resume!
I cannot imagine what had to go through! But I am really excited to see what’s next to come.
You have to make a simulator in the 727.
If you dont mind me asking how much did the plane cost and if you can estimate the transport, machines etc
Hi love your vids🎉
Glad you enjoy them!
is an alluminium egg a good foundation for a warm house?
I've seen a lot of wild things in Big Lake Alaska but I think this takes the cake by a long shot.
Hahaha...I'm in competition with Mokie to see who can put more stuff in their backyard
DC-9 what great plane. She didn’t go easily.
Very cool! it would be awesome to live in a plane, This is one of my favourite ones. I wish they were still flying...
So do I
DC 9!
Keep the cockpit!!!!
It's not going anywhere.
Please continue the pilot lodge series…. Thanks
I really want to see the process of making people pull over to make way for this big airplane on the roadway.
Did you take out the wires?
Me thinking northern Michigan is cold 😭
is it too late to ask for a general construction job spot for your awesome planes? I just came across your channel and its amazing! My name is Darren and I'm a huge aviation fan with a recent need of a job!
yeah i bought one to , i keep it under the stairs
HAHA
I love the dc9 I want to go on one so bad
You can book a night to stay in ours! It will be ready July 2024. airbnb.com/h/airplanehouse
I remember when the German technology museum at Sinsheim got their Concorde Air France sold it to them for 1 Euro, but shipping cost them 1 Million Euros^^
I cannot wait to see this finished and hopefully one day come and visit!
neat, one of the scarce DC-9-40s
It's a LONG one...super nice having that much room inside
Just started watching. Fascinating. Who scraps aircraft in Alaska. How is this possible?
The airframes simply cant be flown anymore. Its not that they want to but its not airworthy to fly, so in our case we took advantage of that.
flipping awesome. my husband and I love the AK and love aviation. when can we visit and rent an airplane house?
Here is the link to book: book.fly8ma.com/
Built like a tank
I remember a Boeing 727 named Lady patricia who is now standing near vejle as a conference room.
Everts is finally clearing out the back lot. You can get a Brasilia as a condo😂

"I'm busy standing on this slick, non-level metal surface 30 feet up in icy conditions, I will address your 'safety wire'-suggestion later."
lol this is so cool!
It's coming along really well! Here's an update: th-cam.com/video/1v0oxD4DlAk/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely brilliant video to watch and learn thanks 🤟👌💚👍✌️🤞💯💯✈️✈️🛩️🛩️✈️✈️🛩️🛩️
Thank you!
Dude i was trying to contact companies for a quote for just this on an abandoned gulfstream to convert into Palm Springs / Joshua Tree / Vegas AirBnB lol.
I did work on DC-9 in Long Beach California.
the wheel well doors smashing the driver was wild. would defiantly not been good if he was shorter
Pilot cabin should became a simulator room(computer room)
We do plan on installing a sim in the cockpit.
lit💣💣💣💣
I’m curious as to why you didn’t just hook a tow bar up to the nose gear and move it down the road that way. It’s been pushed and pulled many miles in the course of its flying days.
Probably the inability to have adequate braking for the tractor pulling it??
Worried about jack knifing under hard breaking and lack of control on ice. Ended up adding a 15,000lbs counterweight to the jeep for added traction since it was November.
You couldn't have loosened the bolts in the wing box and taken them out with the crane?( as they are meant to be removed, if a wing has to be replaced. )
I will be kind of tricky to reattach them" good enough" without
Having the main wing "spars " intact,and the wing root structure messed up after you cutting(and breaking it off )I guess you could have
A Support structure holding it up , not so nice looking as having them just sitting in the air by themself maybe ....
the butcher method means that the plane will be hard to seal up from water ingress via the wing root, probably.
If the wings was intact you could have sealed the joint and re bolted to the plane.
Needed the landing gear to tow it, so couldn't remove the wing at the root. Plus way cheaper to cut, like 50 times cheaper. They reattached well, more of a mono structure than a spar in this one compared to the DC-6
I'm so glad retired aircraft don't completely get scrapped. So happy some of them go to amazing people like you.
Here's what it looks like now: th-cam.com/video/1v0oxD4DlAk/w-d-xo.html
My dad got AN-225 that he bought 33 years ago when union collapsed, it was in a disastrous condition but he only payed 5000$ for it, in a year lots of people offered him up to 50.000$ to take it apart for scrap but he denied everyone and in 1995 throught some connections registered it as a tracktor, since its impossible to move it just sits now in the field untouched for 15 years or so, last time i've been there was in 2010, but now they closed the town and we cant get there lol.
That's pretty cool!
For a second I thought it was a Boeing, because the door was missing.
If anyone ever googles "How to disassemble my DC-9" I bet this video will be the number 1 result for many years to come.
Glad we could fill that niche
thank god it's not the infamous DC-10
