Our Boeing 707, finished installation

This hangs on one wall of our living room, above the stairway that leads down to the garage. As you walk up the steps, you get this view.

Here is the nightime glow; it's our Jet Age Nightlight

My 707 has come a long way since I first found it at an aircraft scrapyard in Tucson. Here's a daylight view, shortly after I stripped off the paint. The illumination comes from rope lights mounted on the structurally-cool back side. (Next time you rest your head against a window-seat wall to snooze, this is basically what lies underneath.)
