A former KLM Boeing 747 aircraft will spend the rest of its retirement days parked in front of an Amsterdam hotel, where it will serve as a museum, exhibit and 5D experience for aviation buffs.
The installation of the double-decker aircraft coincides with the plane's 50th anniversary which was February 9. Over the last few years, airlines have been retiring the jumbo jet nicknamed "Queen of the Skies" en masse, in favor of more fuel-efficient, modern aircrafts.
At the Corendon Village Hotel, visitors will be able access areas of the aircraft that are normally inaccessible to the public, including the cargo area, wing, aircraft belly and cockpit.
Travelers who normally fly economy will also be able to visit the upper deck, normally reserved for high-flying business and first-class passengers. The highlight of the visit is the 5D flight simulation experience, which promises "flying in all its facets."

Wonder how many will use it, mistakenly thinking they can become members of the Mile High Club. Btw, here's the 747 in Stockholm, Sweden: http://www.jumbostay.com/
