His Flight of Fancy Finally Comes Home

Onlookers stood in the predawn rain to watch Bruce Campbell move his new home--a 127-foot-long decommissioned Boeing 727 he bought for $100,000--from near the airport to the countryside. A crew worked to tow the wingless craft through the streets of Hillsboro, Ore., to a 500-acre orchard 12 miles away. The fuselage will rest there until spring, when Campbell, 49, will figure a way to get it up a steep slope to his 10-acre parcel. Campbell, who had dreamed of living in a jetliner since childhood, will outfit the plane with living quarters and then reattach the wings.
