Re: Request: Elvs Playboy Plane
As far as I can tell from the very brief references to this, Elvis borrowed Hugh Hefner's plane to travel to and from several concerts. It was a black DC-9. Since Elvis did not purchase his own airplane until 1975 (the Playboy jet was used in October 1974), I suspect he simply borrowed it for convenience.

Elvis Presley and Kathy on the Playboy Jet
She said he was a groper and it sure looks like she was right!

Re: Request: Elvs Playboy Plane
what does "a groper" mean ?
It's hard NOT to imagine Elvis as perfect; how else could someone be THAT good looking, THAT talented, THAT generous & THAT charismatic

It means he couldn't keep his hands to himself.
I doubt many complained.

It's not Kathy, and it doesn't look like "groping" to me.Terry wrote:

This photo is from Las Vegas in 1969, and the woman with Elvis is country star Jeannie C. Riley.
