The Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association focuses on promoting sustainable practices for aircraft and engines. Another spokesperson for the organization determined that something between 500 to 600 aircraft fleets will be retired every year over the next two decades and that approximately 1,200 to 1,800 planes will be dismantled in the next three years. If more people took Bruce Campbell’s lead, that could be turned into a number of new homes!

There were a number of simple reasons why Campbell chose the forest of Hillsboro, Oregon to reassemble his Boeing 727 aircraft. Firstly, following his graduation in the 70’s he received a job offer in the area. Secondly, he is extremely fond of the greenery in the area. He wrote on his website, “I like the area and it’s very green and Oregon is a little independent-minded which appealed to me. It’s a country setting, it’s very nice. It’s more than enough for the aircraft.”
