The interior of this plane is truly breathtaking! 64-year-old Bruce Campell, a retired electrical engineer, has always had a remarkable flair for creativity. In his twenties, he took a leap of faith and invested $23,000 in a 10-acre plot of land near Hillsboro, Oregon, with a vision in mind.
He decided to build an extraordinary mansion out of an old airplane on this sprawling property. Stay tuned for the upcoming reveal of the interior! Scroll down to find out more.
Campbell has always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together into something new. He envisioned his property as a canvas for building a unique home, using a collection of decommissioned cargo planes. Although he thought he was developing a completely original concept, he later discovered that a similar creation already existed.
About two decades after he came up with his plan, Campbell learned of Joanne Ussery, a Mississippi hairdresser who had converted a Boeing 727 into her home. After a fire destroyed her previous residence, Ussery decided to rebuild it in the shape of an airplane and move it to a quiet riverfront. After some thought, Campbell decided to change his original plans.
He made significant changes in several aspects. Read on to learn more about Campbell’s plane whereabouts and see more photos. In 1999, Campbell invested a staggering $100,000 to purchase a Boeing 727 from Olympic Airways. Transporting the massive plane from Athens, Greece to his property in Oregon was a major challenge. Including transportation costs, the total expense for the plane was about $220,000.
However, Campbell felt that every penny spent on the jet was worth it. The aircraft is equipped with the bare necessities of life. Campbell kept the original toilet and some seats and also added a washing machine and sink.
Despite the spaciousness of the Boeing 727, Campbell doesn’t spend much time in his unconventional abode. His kitchen is equipped only with a microwave and a toaster, and he usually subsists on cereal and canned goods.
While living in an aircraft like Campbell may not be for everyone, we can’t help but admire his incredible achievement! Just take a look at this remarkable aircraft. Accomplishing such a feat must be immensely rewarding. Watch the video below to explore the entire interior of this extraordinary aircraft home:
