The Plan Gets Put into Action
Bruce had the land, now he needed the plane. He ended up finding one for sale for $100,000. It was based in Athens Airport in Greece at the time, so he had to pay an extra $120,000 to get it all over to Oregon. It was a lot of cash, but for Bruce, the project was worth every penny.
Getting the plane into the woods and onto his land was a big challenge too, but eventually, he and his workers pulled it off. Next, it was time to get to work on transforming the plane, with Bruce believing that a ‘beautiful jetliner’ would be a terrible thing to waste.
