"German Bordbar sells original airplane trolleys. Not new ones, but trolleys that have travelled the skies in faithful service to hungry and thirsty travellers, and are now ready to be reintroduced as compact rolling cabinets in homes and offices. Dents and scratches aren’t removed—after all, they’re proof of authenticity—but the trolleys are cleaned up and revamped with one of Bordbar’s graphic designs, printed on laminated foil."

I like these ideas of reselling what is otherwise trash - anyone wanna shout me one? It'd look awesome I reckon!

"Some boys just never get over decorating their bedroom with airplanes. John David built a Boeing 747 full sized flight simulator that replicates the jumbo jet cockpit. It recreates every switch and sound on a real 747. The simulator has an auto pilot, throttles and weather radar obtained off the net. It’s made primarily from wood and cost about $30,000. The simulator has all the software to recreate take offs and landings from almost any airfield in the world."

That looks bloody awesome! It looks like one of the earlier incarnations of the 747 though, but I'd take it anyday :)
