Well well well - you should read on, and not take it out of context.
I'll try to highlight what's needed to understand.
"When the road manager extraordinaire Richard Cole was assigned the task of finding a plane ostentatious enough to transport Led Zeppelin during the band's world-conquering 1973 tour, the choice was as easy as a groupie: in the mid-70's, if you were a rock star, or just part of the bell-bottomed entourage, the only way to travel was in a customized Boeing 720B called the Starship 1."
But hey, the Stones were already flying in '72! - ok, with old fashioned propellers, but still.
Led Zep was flying with a jet a year later in '73 i.e. the Starship 1.
and the same meaning is in this sentence:
"There had been, of course, other private planes. The Rolling Stones chartered one for their 1972 tour, inviting Truman Capote and Lee Radziwill to tag along. And much has been made of the plush jets the wrinkly rockers leased for their recent world tour. But they are crop dusters compared to the Starship"

It's one thing to lease a plane for a tour, it's another to BUY your own jet as Elvis did in 1975.
