Engineer converts 1969 Boeing 727 into Oregon home

American engineer Bruce Campbell bought a retired Boeing 727 for $100,000, had it disassembled and moved to Hillsboro, Oregon, and rebuilt it into a house over two years, spending $15,000 on the conversion.

The 1969 aircraft had logged 43,000 flights for Olympic Airways and carried the remains of Aristotle Onassis in 1975; its wings and tail were removed and the transport to Oregon cost $120,000. The resulting home has a 100‑square‑metre interior, retains the cockpit, some seats and flight controls, and features a plexiglass floor that shows wiring and beams, with monthly taxes and electricity estimated at $370.
