What despicable management , maybe Elvis never even set foot on the plane but he still bought the craft and it was all intertwined with his shady dealings involving the mob , the FBI and the CIA so it is still e piece of nostalgia worth seeing and hearing about ,Sickening reading comments it being a fraud when the same idiots will pay 1000's for a sweaty napkin with sweat on it for their grandmas and not complain about spending money on a DNA test and finding out they actually got duped. FYI , I was taught in highschool by Elvis Presley's recording drummer Jim Watts in Thunder Bay Ontario and heard a lot of great stories about humble Elvis

I saw the Elvis jet today at Oshkosh and was really impressed by it. When you originally bought the jet I was thinking to myself that it was a waste of money and couldn't figure out the appeal to it. Now that I watched the build videos the last year and a half and seeing the final creation in person I thought it turned out awesome with what you did to it. I saw you at your tent too and wanted to say hi but there was a few people talking to you so I didn't want to interrupt you. My 8 year old son was also with me and he get's impatient standing around like most kids so I tried to keep it moving with walking the place. I got a few photos of the jet and a couple with my son in front of it so I have a memory seeing it in person. My son thought it was awesome as well and was at the top of the list for his favorite things he saw at Oshkosh. If I go Saturday and see you there I'll try my best to say hi this time. There's so much to cover there so hopefully I make it by that area again but if I don't I hope to meet you someday in the future. Great work with the jet and keep up the good work and what you're doing on KZbin. Your channel is great and I find it really interesting and entertaining with the content you make!

To get PR in Memphis you have to have gun shots and bullet holes. The Elvis jet did not get a Memphis bullet hole so it is not an official part of Memphis Memorabilia . Thanks Bass Pro for your hospitality to Jimmy and the crew, wake up Graceland and get off the downhill slide.

Elvis never laid eyes on that plane. Ever. I'm an Elvis collector. This plane has been a joke for years. And the auction house is riddled with fraud and is being sued by EP now for selling fake memorabilia. This plane has been a laughing joke amongst us collectors for years.

@tomsggih94895 ай бұрын
@@albertklose572 EPE is doing that. But if he did a simple Google search, he would have already known it was a fake. It's been for sale for years and years and years. All of Wlvis collector world has known it was BS from the get go. Why this dude bought it is a complete mystery. All he had to do was look it up. We all as collectors thought this thing was dead years ago, as far as being for sale as an Elvis jet. It's been debunked by everybody that was around Elvis when it was first brought up years ago, including his pilot.

I knew Monteagle Mountain in Tennessee was going to be a nail biter. I met the lady who used to run Graceland in the 1980s. She was so nice and reminded me of my mom. She has probably died now but she made Graceland great but now the management is probably crummy!

My brother installed vortex generators at the rear of his motor home and got improved mileage and crosswind stability. The difference on the interstate around big trucks was amazing. They help to lessen the low pressure area at the large flat rear of the vehicle. Fairly cheap at your local RV store. They just stick on.

I was up around OshKosh a few days ago making a delivery, I knew there was an air show up there, but OMG, I didn’t know how big the show actually was. The camp ground there was noting but a sea of RV’s. And that’s just what I could see from the interstate as I was passing by.

G'day Jimmy and team. What a trip. Congratulations, you made it. Whoever would have thought that 12 months ago, you'd be setting up the Elvis jet at Oshkosh. Unfortunately, there has been one very large disappointment. And that is the reception you received at Graceland. And then for them to go and fire someone for being nice. It makes me angry. 😡 Where is Riley. So, thanks for sharing the journey Jimmy ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Jimmy I experienced the same thing driving down the road after I bought one of the original 1132 MB Smart cars that were brought into to the USA and converted to meet USA standards. This was 3 or 4 years before MB brought the smart car to America. I bought it in Orlando, FL and drove it up I95 to Charlottesville, VA. It was scary because folks would start driving in the direction they were looking which was at you. I then mounted a air deck behind the cab of our Volvo 770 semi truck which had been converted to be registered as a Motor Home. I pulled our 40 foot Newmar Kountaire 5th wheel with it and loaded the smart car between the cab and the 5th wheel. I was 64' 8" long and my weight was 42,640lbs. Once again lots of lookers going by. However this time they keep their distance as they knew might was right and I would hurt them if they got to close. Love the Elvis Jet project.
