Aircraft as mobile homes

In the documentary "Contact", the rich millionaire is said to live in his
private jet. (It is a one with a pair of engines each side of the tail).

And in the documentary "Spaceballs", they have a flying mobile home. (the
reverse of using a plane as a mobile home).

The ultimate would be an AN-124 where you can litterally drive your mobile home
onto the plane and then fly away. (and the neat thing is that this is a RORO
concept since you can enter the plane from the back and leave from the front).

There was also a TV show back in the early 70's called "The Magician." Bill
Bixby played the title roll and used his skills to help people. He had what
I think was a jet (might have been a 727) that was not only where he lived
but was also the garage for his Corvette.

Then there was Johnny Quest, who had an aircraft the size of a B-52 that could
hold only four people and a dog.

Most big SUVs I see on the road seem to only hold one person.

this is interesting: we do not have the same concept of ultimate luxury :-)
For me, the ultimate luxury would be to travel wherever I want with nothing
more than the clothes I am wearing and a credit card (traveling first class
everywhere, fancy hotels, etc.); now if I want to fly myself, may be
a nice Falcon (but still staying in fancy hotels); camping out is really
not something I would want to do when/if I reach this point :-))

I think that's why we see so few of these projects. If someone can afford
and operate an aircraft that expensive, they are going to opt for more
luxury when they get there. I certainly would.

Someone else had a good point also. You would have to have a shower and lav
for any kind of comfort on overnight visits, and most airports small enough
to welcome this type of visit would probably be ill equipped to offload the
waste.
