We are thrilled to host the first ever PlaneTags Festival on Friday, November 5th through Saturday November 6th, 2021. If you have not ordered a ticket, you can do so here.
MotoArt PlaneTags is opening the doors to the shop and rolling out the red carpet. We’re stocking the store and getting things ready for our inaugural festival. MotoArt owner Dave Hall has been wanting to hold a customer appreciation event for some time, and the 20th anniversary of MotoArt is the perfect time to kick this off. Here’s what to expect and answers to some of the questions we’ve been asked.
Kick off the festival with us Friday night. No one throws a party like MotoArt and our attendees will see this first hand. Enjoy delicious food and drinks, music, and getting to know the MotoArt PlaneTags crew and other attendees. Our shop will be closed for sales during the Friday night festivities.
We’re packing a whole lot of fun in an afternoon’s time. Attendees will have the opportunity to set up their own table to display their PlaneTags collections and do some trading. We will have an open forum to participate in, a "Twenty Years of MotoArt" presentation, and an intimate discussion with Carl Scholl of Aero Trader. Attendees will also receive a special gift and a chance to win some incredible prizes. Best of all - we’ll get to see old friends and form new friendships as we bond over our joy of collecting PlaneTags.
We’re opening the door to our new PlaneTags showroom and inviting attendees to shop on Saturday, November 6th. The $25 registration fee will be applied towards your purchase in our shop that day.
If I order a ticket to the Festival but don’t attend, can I still have the Festival PlaneTag?
A: No, the Special Edition Festival PlaneTag is for those attending the Inaugural PlaneTags Festival in person.
Will there be an opportunity to buy the Special Edition Festival PlaneTags at a later day?
Yes, tags remaining will be made available at a later date. The proceeds will be donated to charity. An announcement will be made at a later date.
I can’t make it to this Festival, will you be having another one near me?
Whether it is because of COVID travel restrictions or just not workable due to schedule or budget, we’re truly sorry not everyone can make it. In a perfect world we would set a date that worked for all of us and could fly everyone in. What we can do is open the doors to our business in Torrance, California and invite everyone who can make it to have the time of their lives. We hope that this will be the first of many PlaneTags Festivals and many more will be able to attend next time.
How big of a PlaneTags display can I bring?
Attendees will receive a questionnaire to let us know what they are bringing and how big of a display area they will require. We’re looking forward to seeing creative displays or interesting collections and personal favorites.
Are masks required?
As per California COVID protocols, "masks are required for unvaccinated people and recommended for everyone in indoor public places." https://covid19.ca.gov/masks-and-ppe/
MotoArt PlaneTags is located at 21809 S Western Ave, Torrance, CA 90501. A very limited amount of parking is available in the large parking lot to the south of the building. We strongly encourage using a ride share service like Uber or Lyft.
If you are planning to attend both days there are plenty of hotels and lodging nearby, as well as food, shopping and entertainment.
Cessna 402: Cape Air’s Iconic Regional Aircraft
The Cessna 402 has long been celebrated as a versatile workhorse of regional aviation. At MotoArt, we’re thrilled to give a new life to one of these legendary aircraft, N1361G, formerly operated by Cape Air, through our exclusive PlaneTags collection. These tags allow aviation enthusiasts and collectors to hold a tangible piece of history from a plane that served faithfully for decades.
B-29 Superfortress: “Jack’s Hack” Lives On
Crafted from the skin of B-29A Superfortress S/N 44-61975, this PlaneTag honors an aircraft that served in Cold War operations and survived two brushes with destruction. Rescued by the New England Air Museum and restored as "Jack’s Hack," it now lives on as a collectible piece of aviation history.
Gimli Glider: A Legendary Landing and a New Way to Own History
On July 23, 1983, an incident took place that would forever change the way we think about aviation safety. Air Canada Flight 143, later dubbed the "Gimli Glider," became the star of one of the most remarkable feats of piloting in history. When the aircraft's fuel system failed mid-flight, and its engines went silent, the crew had no choice but to make an emergency landing. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary: a dead-stick landing at the former Gimli, Manitoba, race track, which saw all 69 people aboard walk away unharmed.
Join us as we take a deeper dive into the Gimli Glider’s history, its unforgettable incident, and how MotoArt continues to preserve its legacy for future generations.
