huh? umh... no?
It should move, but for some reason, it doesn't work as a gif, only as gifv. I've noticed this recently. It's an imgur thing, not the forum's fault.
it's a jet ski with lights
I was referring to the Elton John picture. It's aboard a Boeing 720 that was called the Starship. It was totally outfitted interior, and used by Led Zeppelin on a number of tours--as well as other bands including Deep Purple, Allman Bros and the Rolling Stones.
Each band would change the livery for their tour.

oh, ok
I've seen pics of Led Zeppelin in a plane. They shared the plane with other people? so much for being a rockstar.
Iron Maiden owns their plane, and the singer can fly it. THAT is how you do it.
Iron Maiden's plane (Ed Force One), is not owned by Iron Maiden--it is leased from Air Atlanta. (Starship was also leased)
No sense in not "sharing" it for a fee when you aren't using it.
Leasing makes more sense as well in that you can claim the cost as a business expense on taxes. When you're pulling in the kind of cash that they were and spending so much of it on the proverbial hookers and blow in support of a rock and roll lifestyle, it's nice to have a legit expense that you can write off.
Peter Grant was an extremely dedicated manager for Zeppelin.
