A former U.S. Air Force master sergeant has put his life’s work to use in a very unique renovation. Wanting to build himself a motor home, he repurposed an old World War II airplane into a functional, mobile living space, naming the 300-square-foot RV the “Fabulous Flamingo.”
As a child, Gino Lucci of Michigan watched his father and uncles build their own RVs. After becoming a pilot and aircraft mechanic, Lucci—who owns the airplane salvage company Round Engine Aero—decided he could build his own from a plane.
