Amazing to see that the plane belonged to Olympic airlines. This was an airline started by Aristotle Onassis which later became tha national carrier of Greece, and finally merged with Aegean airlines. How it ended up in oregon ... another matter.

This is literally the airplane that carried Onassis’s body after he died. The owner of the plane won’t let you sit in the seat where Jackie sat during that flight.

It's probably not that strange. Once the plane hits the end of its life the airline looks to sell it off to some scrapper, so all he has to do is show up at the auction with cash in hand. As for getting it to Oregon, well, it is an airplane.
