Boeing 727-400
The airplane that Bruce Campbell used to create his Oregon home is a Boeing 727-400, which Boeing produced from 1960 to 1984. The plane model was constructed to serve flights which were short and medium-length since the aircraft could use relatively shorter runways at some smaller airports.
This airplane is the only airliner model that Boeing Commercial Airplanes constructed with three engines. It has seating for around 149 up to 189 passengers. The last major carrier in the U.S. to use the aircraft model was Delta Air Lines. The last Boeing 727 of the carrier was retired in April of 2003. On the other hand, Northwest Airlines retired their last Boeing 727 in June of the same year. Today, the only carrier that still operates 3 Boeing 727-200s for passenger services is Iran Aseman Airlines.

A Bleak Past
Prior to Campbell purchasing the Boeing 727 and transforming it into the masterpiece airplane home he now owns, the aircraft was, of course, used to transport different people to many destinations. Well, turns out it also transported somebody very famous and a dead body!
Yep! Campbell’s home now was actually the steel bird that once transported body of Aristotle Onassis, the Greek tycoon, to Greece after his death due to respiratory failure on March 15, 1975 in France. Aristotle’s long-time friend as well as wife during that time, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who also happens to be a former United States of America First Lady, accompanied her husband’s body on the airplane.
