A recent Netflix documentary The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes revealed how a woman in Malibu, California built her dream house using the wings and tailfins of a former passenger Boeing 747 aircraft. Owner Francie Rehwald commissioned architect David Hertz to design the house, who paid just US$26,000 to purchase the scrap aircraft (though the entire project reportedly ran well into the millions). Developers had to close five freeways to transport the aircraft parts, while a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter (one of the heaviest lifting helicopters) airlifted them the rest of the way to the building site.
