Is it a bird? An airplane? No, it is the...
Hotelicopter
I read about it in the newspaper -
It's a huge helicopter (bigger than a Boeing 737-400), built in Russia in 1968, and now transformed into the first ever flying hotel.
Quite amazing!
First flight soon!!! Go get tickets

One question. WHY? Obviously, it can't stay in the air long enough to make it worthwhile.

The Mi-12 (on which this joke is based) did fly but not good enough. Of the whole test fleet 2 survive: 1 at Monino and the other one at the Mil factory
