Starship The Famous Rock and Roll Tour Plane

If you were starting out in a band, someone in the group would probably end up owning a van and you would use that to get you and the band’s gear to your gigs. If you became successful you may end up getting a bus for that purpose as well, but riding around in a bus when you are going across the country or to another continent isn’t very practical. Sure you could jump on a plane and fly coach or maybe even first class depending upon how your group is doing financially but lets say you go big and you have some hit songs and people love you and want to come out and see you play live at big stadiums and stuff, well then my friend it is time to get your own Airplane, or atleast lease one that has your band’s name across the side of it. That is what the Starship was, it was a decadently tricked-out Boeing 720 jumbo jet that was basically a flying tour bus for bands like Led Zeppelin, the Rolling stones, Elton John, the Bee Gees and so on. #starship #spacex #space #nasa #elonmusk #falcon #mars #starkid
