After sitting in a New Mexico desert for about 40 years, a private jet once owned by Elvis Presley has been relocated to Tampa Bay, Florida. It was moved from Roswell, New Mexico to Florida, traveling more than 1,600 miles. The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s 1962 Lockheed JetStar is currently being stored in Plant City by the new owner, James Webb the creator of “Jimmy’s World” on YouTube. Webb revealed that he made the purchase because it was formerly owned by Elvis. “Airplane itself is flipping cool, even without the obvious connection, but if you add in the Elvis connection," he said. "There’s no rock ‘n’ roll star bigger than Elvis, in my opinion." James Webb bought Elvis Presley's jet at an auction The late Presley bought the jet, which seats up to nine, on December 22nd, 1976, for $840,000 to become the third aircraft in his luxurious personal fleet. After the death of the king of rock 'n' roll, the aircraft was parked at the Roswell Center in New Mexico for almost four decades until January 8, 2023, which marks Presley's 88th posthumous birthday when it was auctioned for $234,000.

That’s just crazy,” he admitted. “It gives me an idea." Webb further explained that he instead decided to turn the aircraft into an RV that will tour the country and raise funds for charities, such as St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. “What if we turned Elvis Presley’s private jet into Elvis Presley’s private RV – the King of the Road," he said.

"Even more than if it was flying or stationary at Graceland." Webb also stated that the jet had already been equipped with a lot of the resources such as a motor in the back, wheels, and a generator that can be used to power lights and air conditioning. “It’s got a water system so we can have a functional bathroom, microwave, TV, stereo system – all that fancy stuff." He also disclosed to Fox News while pointing to the front of the aircraft staying that he intends to install the steering wheel there while retaining the original captain seats. “We’re going to take an RV chassis," Webb explained to the news outlet.
