A Reddit user?named u/newtrawn?noticed?the cockpit had been attached to an apartment in?Russia, with the aesthetics being matched to the blue and white-themed house.?

"It¡¯s by design. That means someone thought it would be a kick-ass idea and well it¡¯s interesting," one user said.

"Hell yeah, is the aeroplane bathroom in there too?" a third user quipped.? ?
The building has been a massive attraction in the town of Susuman since 1983, according to the website Ru.esosedi.org.
The description of the building reads: "House number 27 on Sovetskaya Street is one of the main attractions of the city of Susuman in the Magadan region."
"A.P. Smirnov came up with the idea - to 'add' to the premises of the main section of the SUT - an aircraft modelling circle - a real aircraft cockpit.?Local authorities did not give permission for such an architectural experiment for a long time.?But in the end, Smirnov's stubbornness prevailed and in the summer of 1986 the nose of the fuselage of this aircraft went from the repair base of Magadan-13 airport to Susuman, where it was 'mounted' to the 2nd floor of the SUT," it adds.?
