Bruce Campbell; A Man Who Lives In A Boeing 727 In The Middle Of The Woods

By Crew Daily

Bruce Campbell is the name of an inventive engineer who bought himself a retired Boeing 727 aircraft fuselage and converted it into an unusual home for himself. This unusual home is a huge 3-engine commercial airliner, which Campbell has mounted over the concrete pillars. This one of a kind home by Campbell has been set up in a suburban forest area that is located outside of Portland, Oregon. The house also comes with its own special driveway.

The aircraft home also comes with a makeshift shower. As for a working lavatory, Campbell is still working on the specifics along with trying to restore the interior of the plane like seating and lights. Campbell lives in this house for 6 months each year. As for the remaining half of the year, he lives in Japan where is also trying to buy another Boeing 747 fuselage. There he is also trying to make himself a home out of a retired aircraft.

This house is built on a land of about 10 acres. He bought that land back in the ’20s for about 23000 dollars. As for the plane, it cost him about 220000 dollars.

Bruce Campbell, the owner, and resident of this one of a kind plane home said, “retirement of every jetliner’ constructive fate is for it to be turned into an aerospace castle. No one should mindlessly scrape these meticulous aircraft”.







To shred such a beautiful and scintillating piece of engineering is such a tragedy in its own self. This is also a profound failure on part of human beings.”

Jetliners are actually masterful works of engineering ever done by human beings in the aerospace science. Their superlative engineering has a grace that cannot be matched with the normal structure that people usually live in.

They are strong, durable as well as long-lived. They are also able to withstand natural calamities like earthquakes or even a storm. As for their interiors, they can be kept immaculately clean. The reason is that they are basically sealed canisters.

To make such a home, you need only two things; An Airliner and land suitable to host it.

The most daunting challenge in building your jetliner home is to transport the jetliner itself to your land.
