For 30 years fans have been able to visit two planes once owned by Elvis Presley at Graceland; Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II. Fans enjoy touring the planes as they visit the home that was once owned by the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.
By April of 2015, the planes may be gone. As reported by My FOX Chicago, Elvis Enterprises, which operates Graceland, has written to the planes' owners saying they should prepare to remove the jets from Graceland by next spring. OKC Partnership and Graceland agreed to bring the jets to Graceland. The agreement called the OKC Partnership to receive a cut of ticket sales in return for keeping the planes there.
Elvis Presley fans not only in the US, but across the world have a right to voice our opinion and WE DO NOT WANT THE PLANES REMOVED. Fans from several countries visit Graceland every year and part of our visit is touring the planes once owned by Elvis Presley. We believe it is not in the best interest of his estate or fans.

I still remember the day that The Lisa Marie was brought down the blvd back to Graceland and I remember the night that we saw footage of the Lisa Marie landing in pitch black with its lights on the night it brought people back from California to Memphis after we lost our beloved Elvis Please do not let this happen, the Lisa Marie is Elvis history and you need to respect Elvis and his fans by keeping it where it belongs
I think this is a very bad Mistake,Why tear up what is very important to all the fans who bring Memphis revenue almost daily. I grew up with Elvis and Graceland and all the things that Elvis had put into his life, Elvis Made Memphis !!! He evan after death he made Memphis Not some big Corporation who is just after Money...This is the most stupidest and uncaring inhuman act any one can do and Thats Tear Up ever thing that Elvis has stood for and was part of his life..
I have visited Graceland 3 times. 1993, 2013 and 2014. Seeing these planes is a very big part of the experience. I hope they stay where they are as I would hate for people to say that visiting Gracleland is not good as used to be!
The lisa marie is synominous with Elvis and his tourong in the 70s and flying to denver for his famous peanut and jelly sandwiches ...and are an adset at Graceland.look after tyem and find a place to show them.off and protect them for future visitors and fans TCE
Jack Soden needs to explain his reasoning on why EPE is telling OKC Partnership that they need to be prepared to remove the planes by April 15, 2015. Is it because EPE is gettting grreedy and no longer wishes to lease the jets for Graceland? Why not try to buy the planes? Many are blaming OKC Partnership but it is not their wish to remove the planes. Perhaps the lease prices a little inflated but I would think that by now that EPE could afford to pay a little more to keep the fans happy. If it's all about investors or board member profits then EPE really needs to re-focus on the direction it's headed. Taking out the planes could seriously affect future profits for EPE. I thought they were smarter than that. Apparently not. Jack Soden should be ashamed.
O Lugar dos Avioes e' em Memphis na casa dele, se tirar dali vai ficar no esquecimento em outro local.
Do not take away the planes
