Oregon Retiree Purchases and Lives in an Old Passenger Jet

3. Masterful Works for Potential Residence

When he purchased the 747, Bruce was a 65-year-old retired electrical engineer. With no plans on remaining active in his trade, Bruce did what anyone would do: he purchased a grounded jet with the sole purpose of… living in it. He called the jet a magnificent piece of technology created by superlative engineering grace which, if executed properly, could become the perfect place to live in. He also claims that the jet could withstand storms or earthquakes. No argument here – no plane, as far as we know, has ever been swallowed up by the Earth.
