Go to Graceland sometimes. I’ve been twice. To Graceland, not a trashy whorehouse.

Interesting place, tough neighborhood.
Lots of signs about vehicle break-ins in the parking lot.

For a museum. Not worth the cost to meet airworthiness requirements. The Lockheed JetStar was once “The Corporate Jet.” Pussy Galore flies one at the end of “Goldfinger.”

My 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 had red seats like this.

Same model as Auric Goldfinger’s private jet...
Commanded by his magnificent private pilot, P.G.

I wonder what it take to get it back in flying condition, if they could?

FOUR engines. Was that economical even back then?

Left to the elements?
It’s Roswell. Dry as a bone out there. I flew my GA aircraft out there in October. His old jet is easy to spot, but the number of huge modern jets parked everywhere kind of make you forget about Elvis’s jet! 🛩️

It was the state of the art. Now it could use two and fly on one, if necessary....... But the airframe is outdated................

Yep. I looked at the video and they mentions that four engines “were economical for the 1960s.”

Rosemary Alden (sister of Elvis' fiancee, Ginger) on the Hound Dog 2, on her way to Vegas to see Elvis perform. Note that the seats weren't red velvet at the time.

Put some new ball bearings in, and add some motor oil and she’d fire right up.

Twin mounted on each side of the rear of the fuselage. A rather unusual configuration. A high performance jet. They use one in the movie Cliffhanger.
