Strange and Unusual Aircraft - 44
Dave Drimmer's Cosmic Muffin
Here is a terrific examples of recycled aircraft. But Dave Drimmer's Cosmic
Muffin, the iconic 'plane-boat' made from Howard Hughes' prized Boeing B-307,
has to be the quintessential example. Deemed un-flyable in 1969, Hughes' former
'flying office' was rescued from the landfill by Fort Lauderdale Realtor and
pilot Kenneth W. London who then spent the next four years transforming it into
an exotic houseboat that has been featured everywhere from CNN to Ripley's
Believe It or Not! to Jimmy Buffet's 1996 song "Desdemona's Building A
Rocketship!"
