One of my images of the 747 jet on Flickr was shortlisted as a potential illustration for the Schmap Portland [Oregon] Guide.

I recently visited the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. I was last there in July 2007. At that time the Space Museum building had yet to be completed and there was no firearms or armored vehicle collection. Nor was this bizzare and unique use of a 747 jet yet built. Here is an Evergreen Aviation branded 747 being used as the launching point for a waterpark attraction on the grounds of the museum. The day I arrived it had just been set on top of the structure that houses the rest of the waterpark. According to the model inside the Aviation Museum building, you will launch yourself from simulated emergency exit slides inside the aircraft!
