So great to have you there! You are the man! Couldn’t have got it unloaded without you.
What are the future plans for the plane?
@@corradovanaken3553 scrap
Airanb or something think that I think
Go watch Jimmys channel
Stretched Peterbilt frame
What a shame, It would have been nice to have it visually restored. I'm sure a lot of people would have traveled to see it and you guys on weekends.
They should of left the plane for someone who would actually restore it. It is bad taste to do what they did. I find it hard to believe that they couldn't find anyone else willing to take on the project.
That's exactly what I said. It's totally wrecked now.
Crash and burn 🔥
@@CommentsAllowed it was not restorable, watch the videos. The parts it needed to be restored do not exist, the engines are also too loud to legally fly. it was best case to do this.
I completely agree. I think it would have been great if it could have been restored as a static exhibit, cleaned out, rotten metal replaced, cleaned off on the outside, re-painted, replica engine nacelles fabricated ...even with no real engines inside it would have looked great. Jimmy considered it as an Air B&B and I thought that was great idea, they could have had all the interior restored to its former glory, had a modern multi media system 'sensitively' installed with lots of footage of The King on tap, maybe a flight simulator up front, emergency exits and fire precautions all fully functional. That's me though, ever the fantacist :-)
I have been to Memphis and I'm sure I remember a similar plane there just outside the entrance to Gracelands.
Cool, Tim gentry and Bruce Wilson in one video, God I love collabs.
Tim only has a channel on here because of bruce
You forgot Jimmy
Y_
And jimmy
Jimmy really got shafted with that deal
Good to see 3 great youtubers all collaborating together, good watch too guys
Respect to all involved for maneuvering that plane into the storage area. That was quite some effort. Thr question is, what happens now? 🤔
I watched him buy that jet. Awesome to see you and Tim together in vidja.
It was painful to watch. 😞
Me too
The best part of this video series is that it teaches everyone an important lesson.
"A fool and their money are soon parted."
I know right, a pile of old festering junk ... lol However if he does something with it that makes him a lot of money then it's worth it.
How much per click? I think this thing breaks even on the views alone.
@@dirtcurt1do you actually think that 355k views paid for this $240k junk? Really..
Air bnb, mentioned Dolly Partons tour bus which apparently is $10k/night, which is stupid..
Despite Elvis owning this jet it's said he never stepped into it, so it was only Elvis owned, I'd say $250/night is even a bit of a stretch..
@@slanger2563 335k views today, probably 20 million over a few years on a single video. Play the long game and you win.
Jimmy, Tim, and Bruce all in one video! Wow!
Man add rebuild rescue and that’s a heck of a video!!
Don’t forget the King!
So good to see Tim and Bruce in the same video. Tim is such a good person
Great group of UA-camrs together!
On the original video where he was looking at buying it I said it was only worth scrap metal prices. I wish he would have listened to those saying this.
Nice to see Tim on your channel again
I’m happy my 2 favorite UA-camRS are in one video together again. Especially, in my former home: Plant City. GREAT CONTENT!!!
Timmy, Jimmy, and Bruce all in one video. Very cool!
Great job guy's getting the plane off the trailer and into the lock up , the professionals , I think Elvis would give you a high five for that job 🖐️👍
Professional ??? those guys were a joke !!
Kinda jumped the gun a little bit huh... Bruce is the 1st to upload a video on this.. Everyone else is, secret secret... Should have let Jimmy get his up though... I mean he did spend a quarter million on that thing...
I can't believe this guy destroyed a piece of history what a shame. This is something that can never be replaced! Shame on him!
NOOO WAYYY! What are the odds you two guys would collide like this 😅
who? Bruce and Tim? They have been friends a long time.
Good collaboration video gentlemen. Thank you.
Elvis is in the building, or at least his plane is. You have to admire UA-cam for it's ability to bring people together with the skills and equipment to pull this sort of project off.
Yep ans JIM don't get it. Its easy to save this plane he will not lissen
UA-cam had nothing to do with moving this plane.
@@Michael-mo1lx I think it's the fanboys that won't listen. There is no way to make this POS flyable.
@@buckmurdock2500 everything is possible today.. you only need money
Where theyp putting the
From a mechanic of material handling equipment thank you from the bottom of my heart for calling a tele handler the correct name and not a lull or a forkilift!
Absolutely brilliant to see you and Tim doing a collaboration made me extremely excited as I can’t stop watching it
That's awesome seeing all 3 of you guys working together ✌️😎
Glad to see you guys together again
Great to see Tim Gentry and Sons back up and running after his devastating fire loss!! Good to see you back Tim!!
Definitely 1 of a kind!!!!
Not gunna lie at all my hands was sweating most of this video. I'm really impressed with those straps. Iv had them bust an fray from the steel edges on the flat bed. I really wonder how much this jet weights!!!!!
It doesn't weigh a whole lot without people, luggage, engines, fuel, and water. I think it probably weighs 10-26k lb
the parts they hauled was about 16,000 lbs.
@@buckmurdock2500 how much in rat shit
Such a great collaboration. I can't wait to see where this goes from here. Thanks Jimmy Timmy and Sketchy Bruce. You guys have made my week...
That jet was sweet. That was a sweet video it was cool to see u n Tim in a video again n Jimmy's just a cool cat
Miracles never cease to amaze me.
I was so happy when I saw them find the plane after all those years it sat , hope it is restored I been a Elvis fan since I was little, all the fans that still love him , hope it stays original, even if you turn it into a tourist attraction, people have made homes out of planes love this
Or saw it into a million pieces with a reciprocal saw and totally destroy it. If you added all of these guys IQ points together you wouldn't break 100.
So very true. Trying to read and interpret many of these comments you realize how many folks skipped out on grammar and composition when they were given the opportunity to learn such.
@@davidpeterson7197 You do like to moan.
@@davidpeterson7197 Yes and it is getting worse by the year...Most kids today can hardly read let alone write! Damn shame the direction we are headed in.
Now I would have thought that when he died someone would have bought it at a sale auction and to keep it in running order, even thou it wont fly now it would have been nice to keep the outside in the origional paint scheme, but saying that where would you put it to keep it away from the elements that would eventually corride it. A fine piece of ROCK n ROLL HISTORY?
You can tell Bruce was puckering up on the move into the shed good job guys
The truck is amazing the sound she makes is great 👍👍👍👍
I remember seeing a video of it sitting in the desert ,good to see something happening with it
This is interesting didn't know he owned more than Lisa Marie. I saw the Lisa Marie at Tucson Airplane boneyard. (AZ) early 2000 with my hubby. Was Awesome to see... I found this Article on the Areotime hub about Elvis wanting to own a fleet. Thanks for sharing learn something new.
This is what men do, they go by faith, not always knowing how it will be done, but their faith carries them through as they receive wisdom along the way. This was incredible! Heavy equipment ops get er done!
@@edwood8698 LOL
Strip the copper and make copper rings from Elvis’s jet. People would pay a lot for that kind of stuff. You can carry that anywhere with you and have an awesome conversation piece. Would make some awesome wedding bands.
I never thought I would see a Jimmy’s World and Bruce Wilson collab
This is Cool American History of Elvis Presley
After watching Jimmy's world, for years. I know he has already got cool plans for this plane. He is a genius, keep watching, he gave some clues in the last video.
Great to see the COLLABORATION VIDEO!! 100% enjoy
At 9:38 Tim and Bruce realize! what they have gotten themselves into. i know i have given my brother the same look haha
realize ?
@@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures 🤦♂️
We'll come home Elivis would have loved to see his plane back keep up the good work guys Belfast fan
Love all three of you together.
Excellent video with Tim Bruce Cody and Jimmy
I rig alot for my job so I'm on the edge of my seat with ya normally with a crane but have lifted many items with telahandlers and excavators you've done good
Totally agree!! A crane would be better and safer, with proper rigger .. instead of winging it ...
And maybe some rated straps
Thanks for helping Jimmy!
Pretty cool project and find. However looking at this plane reminds me why I buy things like this by the pound. Scrap aluminum is at 0.30/pound and the Lockheed Jetstar weighs 24750 empty so $7425 is more than fair considering the engines were missing, the plane is in bad shape, some expensive electronics are gone and it wasn't the only plane belonging to Elvis. But then I am not an Elvis fanatic but I still would have tried to keep it as intact as possible for a static display. However, I have restored many things myself including wooden sailboats, the last of which I paid the amount equivalent to the value of the loose ballast under the floor boards.
No disrespect, but trying to figure out the relevancy of your comment. It has already been said that Jimmy plans to retrofit the cockpit and cabin area to either a RV or perhaps a bed and breakfast. The rest of the plane is going to be sold to collectors of Elvis memorabilia. He plans to sell very small sections (thinking perhaps 1" X 1") of the Skin in of the remaining plane to Elvis fans. None of it is going to be sold as scrap metal that I have ever heard following this whole project. He could easily net 100 times the scrap price selling 1 oz pieces to fans for $20 (Guess) to fund the main project. The entire plane structure/frame was totally unsafe due to corrosion so absolutely not safe to ever fly again obviously, and I would bet the cost to have it moved intact would have been far more than he would ever recoup to set it as a static display. The man has already invested close to a quarter million into just buying the plane before he ever cut it up in sections to haul it to this location. It was a well known auction as well so hardy a "Find" either? There was quite a few bidders and the price went up faster than anyone ever thought for buying it for scrap. Just a tad confused unless you haven't seen the story from the beginning and all other posts from all UA-camrs that tried to buy or have documented on Jimmy's channel and others.
Have you ever heard of a run on sentence?
@@davidpeterson7197 I'm sure you could understand it.
@@repaid1 you are absolutely correct and I did watch the video but of course I was stating the obvious that it wasn't really a good deal for the average person. Nonetheless I'm sure there will be some way to at least break even selling pieces of the plane as memorabilia and then using the remaining fuselage as a badass motorhome.
This is the crossover I been waiting for lol. Both of my favorite channels!!
You do cool stuff with cool people! It's awesome you saved that piece of Elvis history jet!
An RV what a great idea that is really cool.
Really cool seeing something happen to that jet. As a kid I always told myself if I had the opportunity, I would turn it into the most awesome of man caves if I could get my hands on it. Funny to see this video after just having it cross my mind a few weeks back.
Same and I'm 27
Nice, glad I found this video
Awesome video, Bruce. I appreciate it, buddy
Red Bank, NJ Blessed Love 👍
What can I say? Sometime ago saw video of the plane... Obviously would never fly again, but a big piece of history, plus Tim and Bruce working together... home run (Plus Tim's brother in it too!)
Not a big piece of history. You wee duped.
WOW TIm Gentry at Bruce's shop!
Bruce, Tim and Jimmy... What could possibly go wrong 🤔. 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! Dang great work y'all!!
Thanks, and apracatings for all the help in saving Elvis's other Jet Star. Folks. Cheers

Awesome to see a calab, I’m from Jimmy’s world. Cheers from Australia
Tim might want to tell Jimmy about the guy from rebuild rescue I bet he would love to see the Elvis jet
Rebuild was a bidder on the jet.
GREAT JOB BY land solutions total respect to them thanks for getting the king's plane back and the other guys it's nice to see .that the Elvis legend still lives on your all doing a great job .being a ELVIS fan myself your all legendary to save it
Wow!! Just came across your channel…magnificent removal & placement….symmetry precision I think is what is called. Very enjoyable to watch! Knowing a Star that Elvis was and seeing inside his plane even in the shape it was in was really an experience I appreciated so much. Thank you:))
Please Jimmy! Let me help you create something special with this plane. My family has had personal stories with Elvis. My Mama Lil opened the previous famous Western Steakhouse and Lounge in Memphis in the early 50's. Elvis knew my family and regularly came by to eat when we were closed to the public. We knew him well. I grew up in the resturant business all my life and worked for the best people on Beale Street. My idea is to put this plane on top of a restaurant and make it an attraction, and bar. I'd like to sell this idea to all parties involved and make this idea I have a reality, and in turn resurrect a historical resturant in honor of my Mama Lil. I know it's ambitious, but I can literally see it.
Thats cool. A while back I saw the video of the company saying it was going to be auctioned. And now here it is. I wonder how gentry gets all these big clients
Are u kidding this video nerve wracking and exciting, not boring🤘🏻
All three are great. I watch them all. The main reason is because family is the most important to them.
Puddins fab shop is a family man too.
What a great lesson in the power of intent. 🏁
Watched this yesterday and had us on the edge of our seats! You guys rose to the challenge. A shame the plane isn’t able to fly and had to be cut up. Those velvet seats are amazing
It’s in the best place in the USA to be Cut-up for sure!!! Ol’ Brucie knows all about Chopping!!! He’s a world-famous Chopper and shopper!!
It didn’t have to be cut up!
Not too many people interested in watching this! I wonder why. And did you ever think what a bad time it is for the Presleys right now? No consideration!
Disgusting!
If you want Jimmy, the owner would gladly sell it to you or anybody else for the $250;000 he paid for it and eat the $25,000 he spent to have it disassembled and readied for transport then trucked to Florida. Honestly I bet he’d take $200,000 just to be rid of the thing. It’s an albatross at this point, it can never legally fly in the USA again and would cost a minimum of 5.5 million to make it able to fly at all, which could only legally be done in airspace outside the USA, Canada, or any of the EU. Even to just restore it to a static display / museum piece would require gutting the entire interior (which is where Elvis actually sat) because it is a health hazard. You can’t clean rodent feces and urine from fabric or porous surfaces and it’s very hazardous to human health. I’m a fan of Jimmy (the owner)) because he saves old airplanes and fixes them up….this one was just too far gone. I do agree “chop shop” Bruce Wilson posting this was in bad taste though
Amazing work there to get all that done . A few times I was expecting there to be a loud bang and the Elvis jet to do its first and last barrel roll . How ever no it was parked with style and grace ass about face in its new home . Well done to every one .
If Elvis was still living, I’m sure he would have a heart attack watching this….just saying. A thank you very much Bruce is in order!
If Elvis was living he’d have a new jet ✈️
If Elvis was still living he would tell you he only owned it for a few months and never saw it in person or ever took a flight in it as he sold it before it was finished being remodeled for him.
@@weing Apparently Elvis didn't put that red interior in it either that was done by the oil exec who owned it after Elvis.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Elvis loved Black,Red,White and Gold.
Damn good job guys!! Video wasn't boring at all! Outstanding!
Great video. I do believe the most challenging parts of this jet are still ahead of us. I hope Jimmy gets the jet more stabilized before the work starts.
Cool video just to bad Braxton wasn’t their with you guys
Great video. Glad to see u and Tim get together
It's hard to believe that EPE wasn't interested in putting it on display. It's still a part of Elvis history. Just glad that Jimmy is going to do something good with it and raise money for charities. Elvis was all about giving to charities. Thank all of you who helped with this, especially Jimmy who rescued it and got it out of the desert where it was just sitting and rusting.
What a way to get that done safely, lil sketchy but well done lol👌🏽 true operator.
elvis never flew on it.
Cool what a video.
I feel sorry for jimmy that the auction place never said it had a noise restriction on that jet so meant would never fly again which is disappointing then the rebuild cost if it was reparable was just insane as well. What a shame it will never fly again.
That was the least of the problems as the newer revision of the engines to meet noise restrictions would have solve that issue. The reason why it never fly is “corrosion”, airframe is just to far gone and looking at 10 million plus to start, then the inspections and etc would kill the project before it start. Then added fact is going to be next to impossible to get the engines required to meet noise restrictions to fly and even start.
@@thetechgenie7374 That Aircraft isn't structurally sound enough for Engines. To make it Remotely Airworthy. It will cost No LESS than $2 Million dollars. That Aircraft hasn't flown in over 35 years. It has been Rotting in the desert.
@@curtekstrom9531 Exactly that why I stated engines are the least of his concerns.
@@curtekstrom9531 He did a video. It's not possible. If it was. Costs would exceed 5 million.
@@TheAtomicBurrito81 it was obvious just looking that it would require millions and years to restore and recertify it. I think this was Jimmys plan all along. He must've known
This is way better than Netflix 👍 thank you Jimmy 🥹
I heard her was never even in that plane is that true if so where is the value in that plane
Be sure and shore that beast, up, Jimmy. Lots of wood underneath. 😊
Awesome video brother love the jet
Badass
Excellent job considering what you had to work with! Thank you for sharing this!
First time out of the sun in what, 5 decades? Nice job guys!
Perhaps you can using the aircondition ducts in the fuselage for connecting with the new aircondition device behind the compression frame. Very good logistic job.
Good to see you landed on your feet, Bruce. Whatever Drama you were in is gone!!
Cool experience, moving a Jet too!! First time it's rolled on that wheel in Decades.
Nice pics for the Office back at your shop too!!
Hard work is a wonderful thing. I like it so much I could sit and watch it all day
Very cool you guys got to help with a peice of American music icon history! Great job getting in its new home .
To think of Elvis & his entourage laughing and singing. Just him smiling at you! His teeth was absolutely blindingly white!!
Figured this JetStar would be heading to the scrap yard or a museum as is due to the shear cost to get it airworthy let alone the fact that it would be illegal to fly if they used the original engines. interested to see what will become of it.
They said he's selling pieces off of it
Jimmy is going to make millions from the Elvis jet!
He knows what he's doing....
@@straybullitt I kinda doubt he'll make a profit. He'll be lucky to sell enough scrap off that "fugitive from a junkyard" to break even, and I think that's even a stretch. But we'll see. I've been watching that thing sit just a few miles from my home for many, many years and when I toured the inside of it many years ago I said "that thing isn't even worth restoring. It will never fly again." Guess that was a perfect prediction.
@@spydie These comment sections are brilliant entertainment laughing at all the know nothing's going on and on about how easy it can be restored to flying condition.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 yes, especially your hilarious uneducated comment! ha ha
Bruce was the right man for the job
We need to see Jimmy drive in the Freedom 500.
Can’t wait to see how he does with this!!!!!! Exciting to see Elvis Plane comes to life!!!!!
he's painting it to look like a big dildo.
Good work cut up and hauled well and nice storage area.
Scrap price for the aluminum based on its weight would be about $408.00
