In 2022, MotoArt ventured beyond our Torrance, California shop to several air shows and events across the country. We had a blast seeing the country, participating in some incredible shows, meeting new folks, and seeing many of our friends, customers and Tagnatics in person. We are doing it again in 2023! Bookmark this page and follow us on social media for updates. We will be adding additional air shows and events as they are confirmed.
Buckeye Air Fair
The yearly Buckeye Air Fair will be held February 17 - 19, 2023 at the Buckeye Municipal Airport in Buckeye, Arizona. More than 30,000 spectators made Buckeye Air Fair 2022 a huge success. This year will feature an airshow, vintage and military aircraft, action-packed demonstrations, AZ SciTech exhibitions and so much more for the entire family.

Since 1974, the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo has grown into one of the largest and most successful aviation events on earth. They are Florida’s largest annual convention of any kind, and each year over 200,000 visitors flock to what has become known as “Aviation’s Season Opener” or “Spring Break for Pilots.” Not just for pilots, SUN ‘n FUN has STEM and Career Fair activities, plus a Family Fun Zone and world-famous daily and night air shows that feature breathtaking displays from dozens of military and civilian performers. It takes place March 28 - April 2, 2023 in Lakeland, Florida.

F-14 Tomcat Coasters: A Legendary Fighter Reimagined for Your Home
Few aircraft define an era quite like the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Sleek, powerful, and unmistakably iconic, the Tomcat was the Navy’s premier fleet defense fighter for more than three decades. From Cold War missions to pop culture stardom, the F-14 remains one of the most recognizable and beloved aircraft ever built. Today, MotoArt is proud to introduce the F-14 Tomcat Coaster Set, created from authentic F-14 aircraft material.
PR-AJB: The Story of an Azul Airbus A320 With a Global Journey
Every airplane has a story, and some travel farther than others before their flying days are over. PR-AJB was one of those well-traveled aircraft. This Airbus A320 started its life flying British families on long-awaited holidays, then later crossed the Atlantic to join the growing fleet of Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras. Over nearly nineteen years it picked up new registrations, new paint, new routes and a new home, carrying thousands of passengers along the way.
Its journey reflects how widely the A320 family has spread around the world and how easily these aircraft adapt to whatever their next chapter requires. PR-AJB also arrived at Azul during an important period of expansion as the airline worked to connect more cities across Brazil. In this blog we will explore where the aircraft came from, what it did during its short time with Azul, and how it eventually came to rest in Florida. We will also share how MotoArt recovered material from the retired airframe and created PlaneTags so its story can continue in a new way.
Fairchild C-82 Packet: The Forgotten Twin-Boom
Before the Flying Boxcar became a military workhorse, Fairchild’s engineers built an ambitious twin-boom transport that paved the way for it. The Fairchild C-82 Packet was a postwar cargo aircraft that promised big things but struggled to live up to them. Although it served for only a few short years, it played an important role in shaping the aircraft that would follow. Today, the legacy of one particular Packet, serial number 44-22991, lives on through MotoArt PlaneTags, preserved from the legendary Soplata Collection.
