MOST people can't wait to get off a plane after spending hours cramped in a cattle-class seat.

But Bruce Campbell just can't get enough of the high life. Bored of bricks and mortar, the 62-year-old US engineer has spent a decade and $US220,000 ($214,000) converting a Boeing 727-200 jet into his dream home.

As he nears the end of his project he's put a call out for any Australians who want to join him in creating another bigger and better plane home.

"I'm looking for a location and partners for a far more intelligently and elegantly executed Airplane Home v2.0 project," Mr Campbell said.

"If anyone would like to see a beautiful Airplane Home in their community, they should contact me."

Any takers?

Mr Campbell bought the plane back in 1999 for $100,000, with additional logistical costs of $114,000. But he says it's all been worthwhile, as living in the plane full-time is "exhilarating".

Tucked away in the woods of Oregon, US, the plane has been converted into a bedroom, lounge and office with its rows of seats ripped out.

Mr Campbell cooks his meals in the former cabin-crew kitchen and has also built a shower in the main cabin area. His possessions are stacked up in the cabin.

He enjoys spending most of his time in the cockpit.

Challenges he faced during the project included installing a working plumbing system and getting the three toilets working again.

He loves to give tours of the home and says many people fall in love with it.

"It's not for everybody," he said. "But I think it is for a lot of people and it is definitely for me. I absolutely love it."
