Mystery Pics (click for more)

From One Elvis Fan Cliff In TCB-World Forum While doing some research for his latest video He came across these pics on Google's Elvis image search.

They were obviously taken on a commercial plane. The only time I recall Elvis doing this was when he went to meet Nixon. The clothes look like they may be the same ones he wore at the time.


Those Pics Releasing One Ski Club Web Page and this is the Story of the pics from ski club members:

Perhaps the most exciting early trip was to Vail in 1969 or 70. We flew on a direct Braniff flight from Little Rock to Denver. The flight originated in Memphis and on board waiting for us was none other than the King himself – Elvis! The first thing he did was to get on the intercom and sing “Love Me Tender” to the passengers. Then he made a trip through the cabin making a brief stop, talking to everyone, most of whom were ski club members. It was truly memorable and I have always admired him for his down to earth way of treating us on that day.

These are definitively taken by a person seated on coach on December 23, 1970, a section of the plane which Jerry Schilling mentions as Elvis having gone to, to talk to passengers and which is a close walk from his first class seating. What is difficult to ascertain is whether this picture was taken i) on the way to Wahington DC, from Memphis (the first leg), ii) on the way to Los Angeles, from Washington, (the second leg, where he met Jerry), iii) on the way back to Washington, from Los Angeles, with Jerry already on board, or iv) on the way to Memphis, from Washington (the last leg). I would guess that Elvis was not dressed exactly the same when he left Memphis originally. Since he stayed at his house in Los Angeles, with Jerry, before going back to Washington, then it is possible that it was in LA where he dressed with the same gear as when he entered the White House. So, this picture is probably from either the Los Angeles to Washington trip, or from Washington to Memphis, the final leg. Given the time on the clock (12.35) and the fact that it is daylight, then my best bet is that Elvis was on his second trip to Washington in less than 2 days. In other words, he had yet to enter the White House when this picture was taken.

Sorry, I meant December 21, 1970, not December 23, as I wrote in my original message.
