NextImg:I spent 2 years and $5M to live in a replica airplane

This man’s dream home isn’t a palatial penthouse or even a low-key cottage on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches — but a 71-foot-long airplane.

Kamaljit Singh Wahid, who lives in the Indian city of Kapurthala, Punjab, spent more than two years — not to mention more than $5 million — building the unusual structure, according to Jam Press.

He began building the replica aircraft-slash-home in 2020 after longing for a private plane of his own for most of his life.

Wahid, who is based in London, built the residence 40 feet above the ground — seemingly to give him a sense of flight while hanging out inside.

The plane stands atop several long pillars and he has to climb three flights of stairs each time to reach the entrance.

Made up of two bedrooms, a drawing room, a kitchen and a bathroom, the high-flying house boasts an open floor plan.

Photos show the airplane sticking out like a sore thumb in the city.

The plane is observable throughout the city.

The entry door is positioned like a cabin door and there are small windows throughout that resemble portholes.

The plane enthusiast also has his name scrawled in red font across the the makeshift aircraft to mimic that of the Air India logo.

There is a repetitive fascination with people living in planes.

A Boeing 747 plane in Sweden that was converted into a hotel a number of years ago has gained worldwide notoriety.

People have booked a night stay in the plane from $44.57 for a bed in a four-bedroom dorm to $118.36 for a private room with an ensuite bath.
