With Sir Elton Hercules John (birth name Reginald Kenneth Dwight) being a British subject, his aircraft may not be registered in the USA. Instead, it may have a UK (G) registration or possibly, for tax purposes, Bermuda (VP-B) or Cayman Islands (VP-C) registration.

Damiross is no doubt on the right track, but after more pondering I seem to remember seeing him come into Nice, France on a charter when we happened to be there a few years ago. Well, I didn’t actually see him, but heard about it from another crew.

Airplane? Not sure. I’ve always considered him to be more of a Rocket Man…

I like Stewie Griffin doing Shatner doing Rocket Man. I’m pretty sure Fox has yanked all the good Family Guy clips off YouTube by now.

He arrived in Pullman, WA in a C650 listed to a production company out of Santa Monica, CA. History won’t go back far enough to pull the tail number.
