In 1980 I had the opportunity and arranged tour use of a Boeing (707) for Fleetwood Mac as a part of their Tusk Tour.

The ship had a forward suite-style arrangement with couches, club tables, galley/bar, etc… with the aft portion of the aircraft in first class seating. Unlike most all of my other private aircraft tour arrangements with bands, where I handled all aircraft tour details… pre, post and en-route flight following management thereof, with Fleetwood Mac I was (in this instance) primarily the initial aircraft securement charter/lease broker.

I located the craft and made pertinent flight crew arrangements prior to their tour. I just loved making flight tour arrangements for rock stars in the days… at that time aviation and entertainment retained a wonderful free-lifestyle ‘blend’ of movement by private air along with the freedom of the continued emergence of original rock music!’
