Innovative plan
From his early years, William Johnson has been captivated by the art of repurposing and innovating with old objects. Originally planning to construct a home using various freighters on his 10-acre Oregon property, William’s path took a turn when he discovered the story of Joanne Ussery, a hairdresser who famously transformed a Boeing 727 into her residence.
Inspired by Ussery’s ingenuity, William, now in his 70s, decided to pivot and reimagine his own ambitious project.
Boeing 727
In 1999, William Johnson embarked on an ambitious project: purchasing a Boeing 727 aircraft from Olympic Airways for a hefty sum of $100,000. The real challenge began when he had to transport the massive airplane to his forest property in Oregon. Importing it all the way from Athens, Greece, posed significant logistical hurdles and racked up transportation costs totaling approximately $120,000. Despite the substantial investment of $220,000, William was unwavering in his belief that the plane was worth every penny.
