The Starship was the jet used by the band Led Zeppelin for the 1973 and 1975 North American concert tours. Manager Peter Grant bought the jet for $30,000. "Led Zeppelin" was sprayed onto the plane but by 1975, it was changed to a blue and red scheme with the smaller Led Zeppelin logo on the fuselage.
