Photographer’s remark
N777EP Elvis Presley purchased this plane in September 1975. The custom exterior paint scheme co-ordinates with that of the “Lisa Marie”, including the TCB logo and the plane´s own special registration number N777EP. This plane was nicknamed as “Hound Dog 2”. Elvis used it for some short trips, but its primary function was tended to be taking Elvis´ manager Colonel Tom Parker and his staff from city to city on Elvis´ concert tours. While Elvis was in one city, Colonel Parker would leave on “Hound Dog 2” to get things ready in the next city of the tour.
