A hot tub in the cockpit, a fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms - welcome on board the Boeing 727 that was refurbished into a home.
These pictures show the unique residence owned by Jo Ann Ussery, named 'Little Trump' after Donald Trump's $16million 727 corporate jet.
After being stored in Texas it was moved to Greenwood, Mississippi, in 1994, where it was to be 'parted out'.
At the same time Benoit, Mississippi, resident Jo Ann, then a 52-year-old hairdresser, was looking for a new mobile home after her previous one was destroyed in an ice storm.
Jo Ann paid $2,000 for the plane and another $4,000 to a removal company to have it moved to her spot next to a lake in Benoit.
She then remodelled most of the home herself, which included installing floors, connecting electricity and plumbing and even setting up a phone line.
The seats were removed to create an 11ft-wide space, with 76 side windows and 10 cockpit windows flooding the fuselage with light.
Jo Ann spent around $24,000 (£19,235) on the renovations, creating a three-bedroom home with a living room and dining room, a laundry room and a master bathroom in the cockpit.
Jo Ann moved into the converted home in April 1995 and stayed there until May 1999.
Eventually, a truck was hired to transport the plane to a different location.
The plan was for the aircraft to be opened to the public, but it fell off the truck and sustained 'significant damage'.

It was located in Mississippi and was positioned partially over a lake to give the impression it was taking off.
But the plane wasn't completely transformed, it still had an original working aircraft toilet and the overhead bins were left in place for storage.
Jo Ann said: 'It is so comfortable, it's so neat, it's well insulated and convenient, there is nothing bad about it.'
The plane, serial number 19510, had been the first Boeing 727 in Continental Airlines' fleet and was in service for the carrier from May 1968 until September 1993.
