Bruce Campbell recently bought his dream home. Campbell, 49, is not someone who follows the crowd. Instead of a traditional house in the suburbs, he got a Boeing 727! He paid $100,000 for his new home, which used to belong to the Greek airline Olympic Airways.
Campbell’s unusual home is parked on his rural property near the city of Portland, in the USA. He cleaned the cabin and took out most of the seats. “Now it’s a palace in here!” he says. The cabin is huge, but the bathrooms, on the other hand, are tiny. Campbell plans on using the cockpit as his office.
Campbell, an engineer, is enthusiastic about his new home. The plane is much stronger than most homes, he points out. And the roof will never leak! At present, Mr. Campbell is a bachelor. But what if he meets his soul mate? Then, he jokes, he’ll buy a huge 747!
