Default Aircraft as mobile homes

Nobody wrote:
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.
