Hey now, that's an interior fit for (and designed by) a King!

It's a little rougher on the outside from being parked on a ramp for too long. I think it will be going on static display somewhere.

And the kids said, "Who? Where was he king of?"

[vanNostrum]

Well I missed my chance :'(
It sold at an auction for over $ 400.000  ::)
Indeed He is King

[David MacRay]

Should have sold it 25 years ago when there were probably more Elvis fans with wealth. I suspect they might have been planning to fly it back then though. Life is funny like that.

That is kind of good money to get for a plane just sitting on the ramp.

Is it going to an individual or a museum?

It is mothballed in Roswell NM
The auction house did not disclosed the name or intentions of the buyer
Probably a static display in Graceland
Doubt it will ever fly again but if it did it would make money chartered
for ''special events''

Can't imagine why they would want it, they already have Elvis' [i]other[/i] Jetstar on display.
