The two jets that were owned by Elvis Presley at the height of his fame, The Lisa Marie and Hound Dog, may be removed from Graceland soon. Both planes have been a tourist attraction for over 30 years in Memphis. The Lisa Marie, is like a customized flying limousine, with a large bed, a stereo system, conference room and gold-plated bathroom fixtures. Elvis bought it from Delta Air Lines and his first flight was in November of 1975. The other plane is a bit smaller. It’s a Jetstar named Hound Dog II. Earlier this year, Elvis Presley Enterprises announced plans to build a 450-room hotel, theatre and restaurant, with a projected opening date of August 2015. OKC Partnership, who currently owns the two planes have been notified to remove them by April of 2015.
