Airbnb is soaring to new heights with its latest offering—an overnight stay in a repurposed U.S. Army helicopter. Situated in Brooksville, Florida, within the beautiful Moto Ranch at Withlacoochee State Forest, this unique experience allows guests to immerse themselves in military history and modern luxury.
Six guests can spend their nights aboard a Chinook CH-47D helicopter that has been transformed into a fully equipped, modern retreat. As the Airbnb listing proudly declares, “This iconic ‘choppa’ with the modern amenities of home, cannot be found anywhere else in the world.”
The helicopter boasts two bedrooms with four beds and one bathroom, ensuring ample space for a small group or family. One of the bedrooms is located in the cockpit, providing an authentic in-flight experience with pilot and co-pilot chairs facing the front window.
A Blend of History and Comfort
Airbnb is continuously expanding its offerings to meet the desires of travelers seeking one-of-a-kind stays. In this Brooksville helicopter, guests will find a fusion of rugged military aesthetics and sleek modern comforts. “There is so much to take in; from the custom epoxy poured countertops embedded with all kinds of surprises, the custom tiled bathroom, to the view of the ‘bones’ of the Chinook now on display behind the clear sections of wall,” the listing adds.
Equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, satellite, Wi-Fi, TV, and air conditioning, the helicopter offers everything needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay.
Immersive Experiences for Adventure Seekers
