Nobody Wants Elvis Presley's Sad Old Airplane
About a year ago, my colleague David Tracy discovered that a 1962 Lockheed Jetstar once owned by Elvis Presley, the Elvis, was for sale and “as swanky as you think it is.” Well, it might be swanky in design, but months of siting derelict have not been kind to this jalopass aircraft. Will you give it a good home?

Anyway, they’re cool looking aircraft. But after spending an eternity rotting on a Roswell, New Mexico runway, Elvis’ looks more like a Star Wars prop than the glamours sky chariot of a 1950s sex symbol.
