Where Pilots Stay On Vacation

Pilots, as everyone knows, are an interesting group of people. They walk with a certain swagger, usually eyes covered with teardrop sunglasses, and a certain mystery surrounds them.  Notice as they lean on the counter in the airport, talking to the ticket agent, looking through a long sheet of paper and making notes.

Meanwhile, the number two saunters out through the jetway onto the ramp to do a quick ground check of the aircraft prior to departure.  The first to board and last to leave, airline pilots enjoy the admiration and trust of all who travel with them.

But where to these aviators go to vacation?  Do they go home and fly some little airplane around an empty blue sky?  You bet they do.  Aviation is their heart and soul, it is their reason for living and they revel in the thrill of pushing the throttles forward never knowing what adventure awaits them on their journey.

In order to cater to this group of individuals, some creative souls have devised a hotel built just for airline pilots. So the Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica has designed this unique and totally impressive two bedroom suite made from a refurbished 1965 Boeing 727 fuselage.

Ah what a great nights sleep!

Until next time keep your wings straight and level Hersch!

Lady, you want me to answer you if this old airplane is safe to fly? Just how in the world do you think it got to be this old?
