The airplane’s cabin has been transformed into an incredible living space!
Bruce Campbell, a 64-year-old retired electrical engineer with a passion for creative projects, has always enjoyed thinking outside the box. At just 20 years old, he invested $23,000 in 10 acres of wooded land near Hillsboro, Oregon. Little did he know, this land would one day hold one of the most unique homes imaginable—a fully converted airplane.

Campbell has always loved the challenge of taking things apart and reassembling them in new, inventive ways. Initially, he planned to use his land to construct a house from a series of retired shipping containers. He believed he was onto a completely new concept, only to later discover that a similar idea had already come to life. About two decades after his initial vision, Campbell learned about Joanne Ussery, a hairstylist from Mississippi who had transformed a Boeing 727 into her home. Following a fire that destroyed her previous residence, she rebuilt her home along a peaceful river in the shape of an airplane. Inspired, Campbell decided to adjust his own plans in a big way.
In 1999, Campbell made the bold decision to purchase his own Boeing 727 from Olympic Airways for $100,000. Moving the aircraft to his Oregon property wasn’t easy, as it had to travel all the way from Athens, Greece. With a transportation cost of around $120,000, his total investment came to $220,000. Despite the challenges and high costs, Campbell saw this as money well spent to bring his vision to life.
