Joanne Ussery, 54, from Mississippi is a big

favourite with her two grandsons because she

lives on a jet plane. Her home is a Boeing 727,

so a visit to grandma is very special.

oanne's front door is at the top of the plane's steps, but you

don't need a ticket or a passport when you visit. There are

three bedrooms, a living room, a modern kitchen, and a

luxury bathroom. The bathroom is in the cockpit, with the

J bath under the windows. Next to this is Joanne's bedroom

in the first class section of the plane. Then there's the living

room with four emergency exit doors, which she opens on

summer evenings. On the wall there's a photo of the plane flying

for Continental Airlines from Florida to the Caribbean. There are

also four toilets, all with No Smoking signs.

'The plane is 27 years old and it's the best home in the world,'

says Joanne. 'it has all the things you want in a home: a

telephone, air conditioning, a cooker, a washing machine, even

a dishwasher. It's always very warm, even in winter, and it's very

big, 42 metres long. My grandchildren love running up and
