Led Zeppelin "Starship" airplane fabric poster print
Led Zeppelin "Starship" airplane fabric poster print
In Stock (2)

Officially-licensed collectible print with the image reproduced on a silk-like, washable and durable 100% polyester fabric - it won't rip like a paper poster. The quality of the printing is really impressive, and its approx. 30" x 40" size will make it the focal point wherever you hang it up.

Light as a feather, the print can be hung using tape, Velcro, tacks, clips, poster hanger sets, etc.. Take a dowel rod and some clips and turn it into a flag (you'll be the center of attention at your home-town parades, no doubt!). Of course, you'll want to bring it to the next concert you attend - just be mindful that others will want to have it for their very own  :-)

When the band tired of the turbulence they often experienced during their flights from concert to concert in the U.S., their manager (Peter Grant) leased a customized Boeing 720B passenger jet from Bobby Sherman's (!!) equipment leasing company.

The plane was called "The Starship" and, as part of the lease, Led Zeppelin had the plane repainted to include their Swansong logo on the tail and the band's name down the length of the fuselage. The plane was used on both the 1973 and 1975 North American concert tours, and photographer Bob Gruen captured the image (titled Led Zeppelin In Front of Plane (New York), 1973) used on this print during the band's stop-over in New York City in 1973.

Other well-known acts that also leased this plane while it was in service (before it was retired in 1979) included Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, The Rolling Stones and The Allman Brothers Band.
