The 73-year-old Oregonian spends just $370 a month. He lives in an old plane.
73-year-old Bruce Campbell dreamed of living in an old plane since childhood. He says he first thought about it when he was 15 when he saw a graveyard of planes.
In the 1970s, he bought a piece of land on which he planned to park his car. The plane, which will soon become his home, he found only in 1999.
Aircraft with history
In 1999, a company that Campbell hired to search for suitable wrecks tracked down a disused Boeing 727 in Greece. The plane was used to transport the remains of airline owner Aristotle Onassis in 1975. The late Greek-Argentine shipping magnate was married to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis at the time of his death. Campbell paid $100,000 for it and the plane flew from Greece to Oregon.
It took Campbell two years to adapt the machine for living quarters, at a cost of $15,000. dollars. As the owner of the plane says, it paid off.
“When you live in such a structure, you feel a little more satisfied with your life,” he said. “And if you’re an engineer, a scientist, or anyone who appreciates the elegance and beauty of aerospace technology, this is just a happier place to live.”
Penny fees
Living on an airplane is also financially beneficial for the 72-year-old Oregonian. In an age of inflation and skyrocketing bills, this alternative home is worth a penny.
His monthly expenses are $370 per month, including $220 per month for property taxes and $100–250 per month for electricity.
