Boeing 727-400
Bruce Campbell’s airplane home was made using a Boeing 727-400 unit. It is a model that the company manufactured in the years 1960 to 1984. The plane had been specifically used for short and medium-length aircrafts fitting for shorter runways and small airports.
The plane is the only model Boeing Commercial Airplanes produced that comes with three engines. It has a seating capacity of about 149 to 189 passengers. The last major U.S. carrier to use the model was Delta Air Lines and the last unit they used has been retired back in April 2003. Northwest Airlines, meanwhile, retired their last remaining Boeing 727 in June 2003. Today, Iran Aseman Airlines is the only carrier that still uses Boeing 727-200s to carry passengers nowadays.

A Bleak Past
Of course, the unit used to transport passengers to and from various places before Bruce Campbell bought the Boeing 727 and converted into an airplane home. Surprisingly, it once carried a famous dead body at some point in its career.
Yes, Campbell’s current home actually transported Aristotle Onassis’s body to Greece after he suffered from a respiratory failure in France on March 15, 1975. Onassis was a Greek tycoon and later the husband of the former First Lady of the United States, Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She also rode the plane to deliver her husband’s corpse home.
