Boeing 727-200
Bruce Campbell’s Oregon home is constructed from the Boeing 727-200 model of aircraft, which Boeing produced between 1960 and 1984. The 727 was made to serve short and medium length flights because the aircraft was able to land in smaller airports with comparatively shorter runways.
This model of an airplane built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes provided seating for between 149 and 189 passengers, and is the only model Boeing constructed with three engines. Delta Airlines was last major U.S. airline carrier that used this model, the last of their Boeing 727s being retired in the April of 2003. Northwest Airlines also retired their model of the same aircraft in June later the same year. The only carrier that still uses the Boeing 727-200 as a passenger carrier today is the Iranian airline Iran Aseman Airlines.

A Bleak Past
Before Campbell bought the Boeing 727 and set about transforming it into the brilliant aircraft-home he now owns and lives in, the plane was used for regular plane things of course. Mostly meaning, to transport people to a variety of destinations. This plane, it turns out, was used to transport a dead body who was also accompanied by a famous someone…
Bruce Campbell’s current home is also the metal winged entity that transported Aristotle Onassis’s body to Greece after his death. Onassis was a Greek tycoon who died of respiratory failure in France on March 15, 1975, who was also married at the time to his long-time friend, his wife, the former First Lady for the U.S. Jackie Kennedy Onassis. So, of course, she escorted her husband’s coffin on the plane back to Greece for the burial.
