Boeing 727-400
The airplane Bruce Campbell has in his Oregon property is none other than a Boeing 727-400 unit. This was a model that Boeing manufactured from 1960 until 1984. It was initially meant for both short-length and medium-length flights as the aircraft could make use of the shorter runways at smaller airports.
This particular model is actually the only one that the company Boeing Commercial Airplanes fitted with three different engines. It generally has a seating capacity of anywhere between 149 to 189 passengers. Delta Air Lines had been the last major U.S. carrier to use this model. Their last Boeing 727 unit was finally retired when April 2003 rolled in. Meanwhile, Northwest Airlines did the same thing to their last one in June 2003. These days, only the Iran Aseman Airlines still has 3 operational Boeing 727-200s in their passenger service roster.

A Bleak Past
Of course, the particular Boeing 727 unit in Oregon used to transport passengers to different destinations before Campbell purchased and converted into the obra maestra that he lives in half the time. However, you might be surprised to learn that it was once used to deliver the body of a famous person!
Can you believe that what now serves as Bruce Campbell’s home once transported the body of the Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis? It was the very same vehicle that took the shipping magnate back to Greece after suffering from a respiratory problem on March 15, 1975, while in France. He had been married to the former FLOTUS and socialite Jackie Kennedy. She even rode the same unit as she joined the repatriation process. How amazing is that?
