Joanne Ussery, 54, from Mississippi is a big favourite with her two grandsons because she
lives on a jet plane. Her home is a Boeing 727, so a visit to grandma is very special.
Joanne’s front door is at the top of the plane’s steps, but you don’t need a ticket or a
passport when you visit. There are three bedrooms, a living room, a modern kitchen, and a
luxury bathroom. The bathroom is in the cockpit, with the bath under the windows. Next to
this is Joanne’s bedroom in the first class section of the plane. Then there’s the living room
with four emergency exit doors, which she opens on summer evenings. On the wall there’s
a photo of the plane for Continental Airlines from Florida to the Caribbean. There also four
toilets, all with No Smoking signs.
“The plane is 27 years old and it’s the best home in the world,” says Joanne. “It has
all the things you want in a home: a telephone, air conditioning, a cooker, a washing
machine, even a dishwasher. It’s always very warm, even in winter, and it’s very big, 42
meters long. My grandchildren love running up and down. And my friends love parties here,
but there aren’t any flight attendants to serve them their drinks!”
The plane cost Joanne just $2,000. “Next time”, she says, “I want a Boeing 747, not a
727, because They have an upstairs and a downstairs, and I want to go upstairs to bed!”
