How exactly do you buy a Boeing 727?
The purchase was made in 1999. Campbell bought a retired 727 from Olympic Airways. Despite the plane being retired, it still cost a respectable $100.000, but what turned out to be even more expensive was to transport it into the forests. In total, the transport from Athens, Greece (where the plane was located initially) to Mr. Campbell’s piece of land cost a whopping $120.000.

Needless to say, the $220.000 he spent on the plane have turned out to be well worth it in the end.
Interior
The plane’s interior has been modified to offer all the comforts you want from your domicile. That being said, Bruce has also decided to allow a lot of the original features to remain, which makes sure, that the plane’s character is still intact after all these years. There are still original airline seats to be found, and even the toilets are still intact. Despite his big purchase, Campbell lives very modestly and definitely doesn’t live a luxury life. Apart from more standard equipment like a sink and a washing machine, Bruce also built a lot of handmade equipment that he uses to make everyday life easier for him. One thing you definitely do not want to do is try out the “airline food” Bruce prepares, considering the creative Canadian’s cuisine is prepared with a microwave and a toaster only. He usually eats canned food and grains.
