Paul, you have become one of my all time favorite channels. Your narration and time spent for a quality video have created an amazing video. Keep up the great work of continuing to inspire the next generation and inspiring those of us who took other avenues in life but still love aviation. ❤
Thanks, Paul (and Austin)! For years, I have seen photos of "the airplane in the woods" but I have found little information about it...or its owner. Your 20 minute video and meeting/interview with Bruce resolved everything I always wondered about this! Thanks for all of your vidoes -and I appreciate your efforts to share. Best Regards, Bill M. Easton, Pennsylvania USA 🙂
My first flight age 14 - 1978 - was in a 727 from Perth, Western Australia to Melbourne, Victoria. I still remember it and those chairs! Bernie in Sydney
Such a sweet ending! Thank you for showing a really unique house, Bruce is quite a character! I wonder why his guest bathroom toilet paper instructions are in Russian🤪
I love your videos man! I’m not a pilot, but you’re story telling and videography makes your videos so compelling. Keep up the great content, I’m super inspired. Cheers
Oh My goodness! Loved this vid! Been watching your channel for awhile. We have our own YT channel. One of your previous videos inspired us to not quit!! Thank you so much!!!! You cracked me up with your “bloops”. You and your family are so genuine!!
That was definitely a unique home, you’ve definitely got me scratching my head wondering how he got that aircraft out there. Dunno if you remember me, but I commented on a post of yours saying that I work for another airline (same one as Big Ern) as a ramp agent, and that I was going to do a discovery flight. The first one I did unfortunately was more of a sightseeing tour, but I did one with another aviation school this past Thursday, and was pretty nervous, but eventually started to get the hang of it. It became very calming and enjoyable. I wish I could start flight school right this moment, but have to square a few health related items so that I have no issue with the first class medical.
You drove past my house in western Washington on your way to Oregon. What a sweet dog. When you go home, do you givie your doggie some love, too? Your videos are fun and interesting ... and inspiring! Thank you.
now i know why I Love your page this is fascinating . as an airplane geek since I was a kid i appreciate this gentlemen and feel his love for aviation and do not find his choice of living a bit odd WOW in addition i was laughing so hard with your bloopers
Awesome. You are so much fun. You and family are so refreshing in these crazy days and your material is a different perspective and very interesting. Thank you so much.
So close to YVR!! Funny, I’ve heard of this chap and his 727 and I’ve been to Hillsborough many times but didn’t realise the two were connected. Again, an awesome video. Keep them coming, Captain 👨✈️!
Wow Paul, this episode is your best lay over ever especially with the Onassis connection! 🤯👏🏼 Your previous best layover was flying in LHR airspace in a viewers small aircraft. Bruce is an amazing guy and seems to like the word “naked” 🤣 🙌🏼
Ok, so this was a great video!! I have heard about this guy living in a 727 in the middle of the woods, but you took us there !!! To say he is eccentric is an understatement and an electrical engineer at that ! You and your FOs facial expressions say it all.......and the history of the aircraft... who wouldve thought ..... Awesome he let you climb up into the fuselage and walk on top. Your drone shots were great also. Thanks for video; I have always wondered who lived in that plane.
Paul, this was so awesome! 😎 I teach and fly out of Twin Oaks Airpark (7S3) which is about 5 miles north of the airplane house! I've flown over it several times. Glad you had a safe and unique adventure in our backyard!
At 8:30, there's an issue of Airways magazine, at the seat. That issue has an article about Bruce and how he got the 727 to that place. The article includes a picture of him. It was such a shock to see him 20+ years later on this video. I have that same issue right here with me. Excellent video, as always.👍👍
My dad and I saw that 727 at the Hillsboro airport where it was ferried to as it was the closest 727 capable airport to the homesite. Pretty cool then. Sorry it looks so decrepit now.
Did you get that boo-boo on your forehead during the trip? Odd that it's not there when you recorded the blooper reel. Thanks for the tour of the 727-house.
Brand new to your channel. I do believe I seen this “home” featured on HGTV Unique homes a good number of years ago. It is cool in an odd way. I love aviation. Flying is my thrill. I’ve been in small planes 2,4 seaters, and 737 down to Austin Tx to see my son and his clan. I have flown gliders too. Oh how I wish I could go up in a jet (military style) but…I’m not a VIP. I look forward to viewing some of your other videos. Thanks
Hey @My Layover Life, love your videos, been watching for a long time! I am almost 24 and starting my pilot career as I am planning a career change from engineering to commercial aviation and I am working towards my Private Pilots license here in the next year or so. Do you think it would be too late for me to transition to the commercial side or become a pilot and what would you recommend the path I would take to get me to fly with some of the big carriers? If you have a chance, I would love to pick your brain about the career and opportunities as well as some questions about the finances and what you did to make it through it. I am based in Denver so my goal is to work at United so I would love to pick your brain, if you are able! Thanks and keep up the great vids!
What are your thoughts about the recent safety issues with United? Candidly I’ve never flown United and these issues give me hesitation in flying United anytime soon.
Hey dude, retired early from UAL last year because I was done with it. How is Scott and the whole DEI thing going? I bet you can't wait to fly with all the DEI graduates out of the Aviate academy.
Next time in town stop by the new Vancouver waterfront. Only 15 min from PDX, Beautiful place, lots of good food options and enjoy seeing planes taking off over head!
My first plane ride was on a Delta 727, YUL TO BOS. I just turned 7 that summer. I'm now 66 yrs old and love to see you and your lovely wife laughing so hard, It reminds me of my wife and myself after 30 yrs still laughing hard at ourselves. Beautiful!!
Thank you for taking us along with you. I grew up around that area and knew there was a guy living in a jet somewhere in the woods. I'm assuming it is outside of the coast range. Love the PNW!
What a cool layover Paul, thanks for taking us along! And what an interesting guy to meet. I wonder how it would have been if you had taken your family there. I bet the kids would have had a blast. 😊
This is one of the best videos of yours, fabulous! Infact one of my favorite videos of the year. I was smiling the whole time from the minute you arrived at the 727. Thanks for this.
It never ceases to amaze me what guys will do for fun and adventure, the risks they take . . . but then it must have felt mighty fine to emerge from the top engine on a 727 and walk the plank (fuselage). Paul, thanks for another great video, you are one heck of a pilot.
Did your wife see that reverse dismount off the fuselage? Talk about scary man....nicely done! And I'm not afraid of heights...but big round cylinders 40+ feet off the ground...yeah, that could be scary. Thanks for taking us with you! Did Austin get up there on the fuselage or did he stay below so someone could still call 911? LOL Until the next video....
Great video Paul! This is for sure one of my favourite channels. Look forward to perhaps meeting you one day when our travel paths cross. Cheers from Canada.
Such a unique guy 😂 so funny watching your faces wondering what you got into
Paul, you have become one of my all time favorite channels. Your narration and time spent for a quality video have created an amazing video. Keep up the great work of continuing to inspire the next generation and inspiring those of us who took other avenues in life but still love aviation. ❤
Holy crap when you slid of the fuselage to the wing my heart stopped. what a cool upload!
That guy was definetly unique...what a life he has though in the middle of that forest!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks, Paul (and Austin)! For years, I have seen photos of "the airplane in the woods" but I have found little information about it...or its owner. Your 20 minute video and meeting/interview with Bruce resolved everything I always wondered about this! Thanks for all of your vidoes -and I appreciate your efforts to share. Best Regards, Bill M.

Love your announcements. They are smooth and professional and make you feel safe in your hands.
Thanks for asking the bloopers, makes you even more relatable
The homecoming at the end LOL! I hope the injury on your head wasn't too painful. I loved touring the jet, thank you.
Austin!! such a joy to work with! Glad y'all had a blast! definitely a bucket list item now :)
You sir deserve your followers and more !
You are a great person . Im following u now
My first flight age 14 - 1978 - was in a 727 from Perth, Western Australia to Melbourne, Victoria. I still remember it and those chairs!
Bernie in Sydney
Great and fun video. Glad you got a layover to the northwest.
Such a sweet ending! Thank you for showing a really unique house, Bruce is quite a character! I wonder why his guest bathroom toilet paper instructions are in Russian🤪
This was a fun layover vlog! I lived in the Portland area for years and for the almost last six years have been in Seattle. 🤗❤
I love your videos man! I’m not a pilot, but you’re story telling and videography makes your videos so compelling. Keep up the great content, I’m super inspired. Cheers
Love your videos!! So inspiring. Thanks Paul!

Next time you’re in the PNW, you gotta hit the Evergreen Aviation museum in McMinnville Oregon. It’s a must see
Thanks again for your effort to make us all feel like we are there for all your adventures.
Each one is more remarkable than the last 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You drove past my house in western Washington on your way to Oregon. What a sweet dog. When you go home, do you givie your doggie some love, too?
Your videos are fun and interesting ... and inspiring!
Thank you.
Wow! What an amazing experience you and your FO had Paul! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I truly enjoy your video editing!

Thank you Paul. For bringing us on your adventures.
You had me 😆 laughing watching that ending with your and your wife cracking up..fantastic ✈️😇
Granted Bruce Campbell is in Hillsboro, but certainly fits the saying of "Keep Portland weird." I can say that as an Oregonian...
Great video and what a guy! Thanks again!
Wow Paul, this episode is your best lay over ever especially with the Onassis connection! 🤯👏🏼 Your previous best layover was flying in LHR airspace in a viewers small aircraft. Bruce is an amazing guy and seems to like the word “naked” 🤣 🙌🏼

The quality of your content is top shelf. Keep up the great work.
I love your videos ! Keep them comming, from another pilot in Australia 🇦🇺 thanks for such a fantastic video
Thanks, will do!
what an amazing progect
Paul, this was so awesome! 😎 I teach and fly out of Twin Oaks Airpark (7S3) which is about 5 miles north of the airplane house! I've flown over it several times. Glad you had a safe and unique adventure in our backyard!
Just found your channel...looking forward to your stories.
Wow! Thanks for taking us on this cool adventure 🤩
I really enjoyed this one. I live and work in Hillsboro and this reminded me that I have yet to tour the Airplane House.
Dropping everything I'm doing and watching!!!!! Love your channel! ✌🏻🫶🏻✈️
As someone watching your content from about 40,000 ish subs, you've done well for yourself mate, great job

I have that same issue right here with me.
Excellent video, as always.👍👍
I loved this video. Very interesting story. I had heard about this plane sometime ago, but didn't know the backstory before now.
Paul, love the videos. Hope I get to fly with you someday!
Bruce gives more directions than ATC 😂
Best aviation channel. Thank you for your hard work 🙏👍
Great video. Please keep them coming
Hahaha. I loved the blooper reel. Two guys who can fly a 757 but can't figure out if their BMW has 4 wheel drive...
I could barely figure out how to get it into park. 😂
My dad and I saw that 727 at the Hillsboro airport where it was ferried to as it was the closest 727 capable airport to the homesite. Pretty cool then. Sorry it looks so decrepit now.
Awesome video!
Did you get that boo-boo on your forehead during the trip? Odd that it's not there when you recorded the blooper reel. Thanks for the tour of the 727-house.
Fantastic! Grato idea for my future house.
OMG, I was worried that something on the fuselage was going to cut your bare stomach on the slide down to the wing.
That was a smooth transition from the security belt to the sky.
Thanks…I liked the way that worked too.
@@mylayoverlifeLooks to be worth keeping for future videos😀

Great channel love it!! ✈️
I sure miss being a airline pilot....I got the same uniform in my closet lol
15:33 I laughed so hard😂😂😂 i hope ur ok
I’ve often viewed his airplane house from Google earth. How did he get that plane in the woods? 😂😂
Wild
Climbing on top and getting off the top of a 727. All on my list of things I’m not going to do..
Paul, be honest. Did you bang your head on the trunk door before filming at the start of the video? Descent scratch, you're sporting there!
I was thinking the same thing. Ooops boink!! Hope it heals soon.
As a flyer myself I’m a big watch guy. What is the red faced watch you are rocking? Weird question, I know, just my thing lol😂
The ending outtakes when you arrive home 😂….your wife’s exaggeration 😂
Paul what did you DO to your forehead?? love your videos
Haha. I should have said something. I missed a step in my garage and fell face first into my jeep.
9:25 they both kinda thought this is the end
😂
I want to go to there
Maybe he is DB Cooper.
👍

This guy thinks outside the box. I means hundred of feet from the box.
He overcomplicated that climb as I've never seen anyone do.
Would you ever fly for Delta since MSP is a hub for them?
Not unless we merge with them. I can’t give up 17+ years of seniority.
As always I enjoy your videos. It seems that you must have hit your head on something. You haven't been in fighter jets without a helmet have you ? 🙂
Haha…yeah, I missed a step and fell face first into my Jeep.
Oh well, not as cool as hitting your head on a fighter plane cockpit but one of those life misadventures!! Take care.
Does united pay for your flights from home to Newark ?
He has videos explaining all that if you search his videos
😎
Hey Paul, someone was posing to be you on my Instagram. I knew he was a fake because he had only 7 followers.🤣 I blocked and reported it.
You have to pay to go into the United Club???? Like they couldn’t throw their employees a bone and include that as an employee benefit???
✔️ P r o m o S M
What are your thoughts about the recent safety issues with United? Candidly I’ve never flown United and these issues give me hesitation in flying United anytime soon.
Probably can't talk about them and Probably wouldn't if he could because his job could be on the line.
How did he get that plane there in the middle of the forest
It's been there 20 years he planted the trees around the plane they have now grown.
Hey dude, retired early from UAL last year because I was done with it. How is Scott and the whole DEI thing going? I bet you can't wait to fly with all the DEI graduates out of the Aviate academy.
That guy was a real nut case! Why did you visit him? 🤣
Where you been bro??
I love that he kept the nav lights and beacon operational! Thanks for sharing as always, Paul!
Your color grading in the drone shots pointing straight down are incredible. Great video!
Next time in town stop by the new Vancouver waterfront. Only 15 min from PDX, Beautiful place, lots of good food options and enjoy seeing planes taking off over head!
I visited this 727 around 2003 and the trees around the 727 were much smaller than they are in this video.
Well I would hope trees get a lot bigger over 20 years XD
Thank you for taking us on this unique adventure!
My first plane ride was on a Delta 727, YUL TO BOS. I just turned 7 that summer. I'm now 66 yrs old and love to see you and your lovely wife laughing so hard, It reminds me of my wife and myself after 30 yrs still laughing hard at ourselves. Beautiful!!
Thank you for taking us along with you. I grew up around that area and knew there was a guy living in a jet somewhere in the woods. I'm assuming it is outside of the coast range. Love the PNW!
Definitely one your best videos so far, specially with a unique subject.
What a cool layover Paul, thanks for taking us along! And what an interesting guy to meet. I wonder how it would have been if you had taken your family there. I bet the kids would have had a blast. 😊
This is one of the best videos of yours, fabulous! Infact one of my favorite videos of the year. I was smiling the whole time from the minute you arrived at the 727.
Thanks for this.
I wonder if he knows who DB Cooper is
This guy has lived in a plane too long and it shows
He’s having a great time and it shows. Let him live.
no@@kirstywho1991
Brilliant mind, unconventional life. Love it!
Wow
And y is that bad
It never ceases to amaze me what guys will do for fun and adventure, the risks they take . . . but then it must have felt mighty fine to emerge from the top engine on a 727 and walk the plank (fuselage). Paul, thanks for another great video, you are one heck of a pilot.
Welcome to my neck of the woods, literally ;)
Did your wife see that reverse dismount off the fuselage? Talk about scary man....nicely done! And I'm not afraid of heights...but big round cylinders 40+ feet off the ground...yeah, that could be scary. Thanks for taking us with you! Did Austin get up there on the fuselage or did he stay below so someone could still call 911? LOL
Until the next video....
Austin was the cameraman for a lot of that trip. Cameraman/Ambulance driver I suppose. 😂
Loved this guy total crank but without people like this in the world there would be no adventures loved the bloopers
Great video Paul! This is for sure one of my favourite channels. Look forward to perhaps meeting you one day when our travel paths cross. Cheers from Canada.
