Behind the chilling legacy of Jeffrey Epstein, his abandoned Boeing 727 tells a story of its own. This plane, known widely as the “Lolita Express,” sits motionless at the Stambaugh Aviation facility in Brunswick, Georgia, where it remains a haunting reminder of a deceptive past.
Epstein’s aircraft, like other assets left behind in the wake of his demise, continues to pique public interest, especially following the release of over three million documents by the Department of Justice. This revelation has once again put the spotlight on everything linked to Epstein, drawing fresh attention to his properties, vehicles, and possessions.
Acquired by Epstein in 2001, the 133-foot-long plane was once a luxurious vessel that flew an exclusive list of passengers across the globe. Sadly, it is alleged by prosecutors that it was also a tool for his illicit activities involving the trafficking of minors.
Despite boasting opulent features like a kitchen, two bathrooms, and three seating areas in its prime, the plane’s insides now reflect neglect and decay. New images and footage reveal that it’s rife with insects and mildew, highlighting the neglect over the years.
Georgia Worrell, from the New York Post, got a close look at the remnants inside the compromised aircraft. She recounted an intense, musty odor upon entering. Within, she uncovered a startling collection of forgotten items: moldy shaving cream cans, toothbrushes, and hair ties. Even more unsettling were the baby lotion and powder in the bathroom, and a hidden satellite phone in a nightstand, accented by Epstein’s monogram on towels and napkins.
The aircraft’s bedroom reveals more grim details. Insect-infested bedding rests alongside a pair of glasses and three dangling emergency air masks, each piece echoing the disturbing tales from those who suffered aboard the flight.
The main cabin exposes a lounge dressed in faded red crushed velvet, where a sofa and armchairs still stand.
Regrettably, the once esteemed plane will not see the skies again. The current owner of the site where it’s stationed shared with the Post that the aircraft is too far gone. “It’s in significantly degraded condition,” he explained, pointing out its lack of engines and the decade it’s spent idle.

Initially slated for disassembly and demolition, the plane instead languishes intact, a silent testament to a scandal that shocked the world and left an indelible mark on history.
In keeping with its somber past, the “Lolita Express” remains on the ground, its deteriorating state underscoring the dark stories it holds within.
