The interior of this plane is truly breathtaking! 64-year-old Bruce Campell, a retired electrical engineer, has always had a remarkable flair for creativity. In his twenties, he took a leap of faith and invested $23,000 in a 10-acre plot of land near Hillsboro, Oregon, with a vision in mind.
He decided to build an extraordinary mansion out of an old airplane on this sprawling property. Stay tuned for the upcoming reveal of the interior! Scroll down to find out more.
Campbell has always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together into something new. He envisioned his property as a canvas for building a unique home, using a collection of decommissioned cargo planes. Although he thought he was developing a completely original concept, he later discovered that a similar creation already existed.
About two decades after he came up with his plan, Campbell learned of Joanne Ussery, a Mississippi hairdresser who had converted a Boeing 727 into her home. After a fire destroyed her previous residence, Ussery decided to rebuild it in the shape of an airplane and move it to a quiet riverfront. After some thought, Campbell decided to change his original plans.
He made significant changes in several aspects. Read on to learn more about Campbell’s plane whereabouts and see more photos. In 1999, Campbell invested a staggering $100,000 to purchase a Boeing 727 from Olympic Airways. Transporting the massive plane from Athens, Greece to his property in Oregon was a major challenge. Including transportation costs, the total expense for the plane was about $220,000.
However, Campbell felt that every penny spent on the jet was worth it. The aircraft is equipped with the bare necessities of life. Campbell kept the original toilet and some seats and also added a washing machine and sink.
Despite the spaciousness of the Boeing 727, Campbell doesn’t spend much time in his unconventional abode. His kitchen is equipped only with a microwave and a toaster, and he usually subsists on cereal and canned goods.
While living in an aircraft like Campbell may not be for everyone, we can’t help but admire his incredible achievement! Just take a look at this remarkable aircraft. Accomplishing such a feat must be immensely rewarding. Watch the video below to explore the entire interior of this extraordinary aircraft home:
Katie Ledecky Shatters Olympic Record After Team USA’s Stunning Silver Win!
Katie Ledecky broke another record on Thursday after Team USA won a silver medal in the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay.
The 27-year-old is now the most decorated woman in Olympic swimming history with 13 medals. This latest win broke her tie with swimmers Natalie Coughlin, Jenny Thompson, and Dara Torres.
The Maryland native won her eighth gold and 12th overall medal on Wednesday in the 1500m freestyle. She finished the race in record time – 15:30.02 – tying Thompson for the most gold medals by any female swimmer in Olympic history.
While swimming, Ledecky told reporters she let her mind wander and thought about everyone who helped her get to where she is today.
“And I kind of let my mind wander during the race, thinking of all the people that have trained with me. Was kind of like saying their names in my head and thinking about them. To my Florida crew, all those Florida boys that pushed me every day, I love you guys. I mean, I know I make your life hard a lot of days, but you guys made my life a lot easier today, so thank you so much.”
On Thursday, 27-year-old swimmer Katie Ledecky had another chance to add to her medal count.
Team USA, made up of Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell, competed in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay and finished second, behind Australia.
This win gave Ledecky her 13th medal, making her the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman swimmer in the world. Only Michael Phelps, with 28 medals, has more than her.
As swimming events come to an end, Katie Ledecky still has one more chance to add to her medal collection. She will compete in the 800m freestyle on Saturday.
Even though the Paris Olympics is Ledecky’s fourth Olympics, she hopes to compete in the Los Angeles games in 2028.
“Yeah, I’ve been consistent these last few months and these last few years in saying that I would love to compete in LA, and that hasn’t changed.”
Congratulations, Katie! You are the greatest of all time.
