Another example of misinformation gaining credibilty through repetition, I'm afraid. The Manila retaurant/nightclub is (or was) N99WT formerly N11RV and initially delivered to PanAm as N728PA. No Conways. It was indeed used by Emelda Marcos, and while nobody can say for sure that Elvis never flew in it, his personal plane was Convair 880 N880EP. Named "Lisa Marie" it is now displayed at Gracleand, Memphis.
