Boeing 727-400
The airplane he used for his Oregon airplane home is a Boeing 727-400, an aircraft that was in production from 1960 until 1984. This plane model was created to service short and medium flights as it could operate on shorter runaways at the smaller airports. The airplane is the only airline model from Boeing Commercial Airplanes that came with three engines. It boasts of a seating capacity of about 149 to 189 people. Delta Air Lines was the last major U.S. career to use the model for flights. Their Boeing 727 was put on retirement in April 2003. Meanwhile, Northwest Airlines said thank you and goodbye to their last unit in June of the very same year. In this day and age, only Iran Aseman Airlines continues to use Boeing 727-200s to serve passenger flights.

A Bleak Past
Before Campbell got his hands on his Boeing 727 and converted it into the airplane home he lives in, this aircraft saw regular use as it transported all kinds of people to all sorts of destinations. Apparently, it got to deliver famous people at one point in those days. Apparently, the steel bird that Campbell gets to call home had been the same vehicle that transporter the dead body of the Greek businessman Aristotle Onassis from France to Greece after he died of a respiratory problem on March 15, 1975. The famous person we were talking about is none other than the former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who was his long-time friend and wife. Whoa.
