M2 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Convair 880? Yep. Apparently Elvis' JetStar named Hound Dog II is also up for sale... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2677689/Graceland-remove-Presleys-old-airplanes.html

JS Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Wow. I may have missed it in the article, but whey are they selling it?
MKopack Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Not many 880's left, in any condition, but given the size and complexity of moving one, I can see one less in the future.
HeyEng Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 If memory serves me, the Convairs were some of the fastest pax jets prior to the Concord. They had special fairings on the wings to deal with compression issues at high mach numbers since they could not "area rule" the fuselage. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
