August 3rd in Elvis History

It's August third, and on this day in 1975... Elvis Presley leased an aircraft for one year, putting down a \$26,000 deposit against a \$13,000 monthly rental. This high-flying move reflected not just Elvis’s immense wealth and superstar status, but also his increasingly extravagant lifestyle during the mid-1970s. From Cadillacs to custom jets, the King didn’t just travel—he traveled in style.
