Michele says the relationship has been going on for 5 years, and says "the 737 is very attractive and sexy. He’s the most beautifully built, and he’s a very attractive and elegant aircraft.”
Michele says because she can't spend much time with the plane, the relationship is sometimes hard, but she has found ways to compensate for that...
She said: “I have a big model of him made of fibreglass as well as real components from him so I can act out my love to some degree.”
Michele’s affection for the aeroplane is known as objectophilia – when sexual or romantic attraction is focused on a particular inanimate object.
But Michele doesn’t see the physical side of her relationship with the Boeing as any different to with humans.
She explained: “It’s like a normal relationship, we have relaxing evenings together and when we go to bed, we cuddle and fall asleep together”.
Michele said her ultimate dream is to marry the plane...
