In 1999, retired electrical engineer Bruce Campbell paid 100,000 dollars for a decommissioned Boeing 727-200 that had spent its working life flying for Olympic Airways in Greece, then had the aircraft flown to Oregon and hauled in pieces to a wooded property near Hillsboro, where it was reassembled and slowly converted into his home.
