Frank Sinatra’s Learjet 23
Sinatra was among the very first Learjet buyers, taking a Learjet 23 in 1965 and naming it after his daughter. It flew the Rat Pack between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and Elvis reportedly borrowed it to elope to Vegas in 1967. It made the Learjet the original celebrity status symbol.
