The Boeing 747 jumbo jet that turned heads as an art installation at Burning Man six years ago has been purchased to become a new Las Vegas landmark.
Real estate firm Fisher Brothers announced Monday that it had bought the jet in collaboration with AREA15.
The jet will be fully assembled on-site at 150 feet long and 60 feet wide.
“We are incredibly excited about the immeasurable creative opportunities that come with repurposing this 747 jet,” Winston Fisher, partner and CEO for Fisher Brothers, said in a press release. “The possibilities of what we can accomplish with this purchase are endless, and we look forward to sharing more as our vision takes shape.”
The jet once served as a passenger plane in Brazil. It later made its debut as a large-scale art installation by artist Ken Feldmen at the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert in 2016.
It currently sits at the Las Vegas Speedway for temporary storage. No schedule has been announced yet for when it could be assembled.
