11 Missions, 5 Orbiters, One Remarkable Flight History: The Missions of Aft Skirt 13
In our previous article, From Liftoff to Legacy: The Story of the Space Shuttle's Solid Rocket Boosters, we explored the role Solid Rocket Boosters played in every Space Shuttle launch and introduced Aft Skirt Serial Number 13, the historic component behind our upcoming PlaneTags release.
But where exactly did this hardware fly?
According to California Science Center records, Aft Skirt 13 supported 11 Space Shuttle missions between 1982 and 2002, launching aboard missions involving Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour.
Unlike many aerospace artifacts that can be tied to a single event or mission, Aft Skirt 13 witnessed the evolution of the entire Shuttle program. Its flight history spans the early operational years of the Shuttle, the first untethered spacewalk, classified Department of Defense missions, Earth observation programs, Hubble Space Telescope servicing, and the construction of the International Space Station. By following the missions of Aft Skirt 13, we can trace the remarkable story of the Space Shuttle itself.
The Airbus A330 That Helped Take Azul Beyond Brazil
The aircraft operated its final passenger flights for Azul before being retired from service and placed into storage. Like many widebody aircraft retired in recent years, its future was uncertain. For many airliners, retirement marks the beginning of a slow journey toward dismantling and recycling, with little remaining to tell the stories of the passengers and crews who flew aboard them. For PR-AIU, however, the story was not over.
When MotoArt founder Dave Hall learned the aircraft had been retired, he recognized an opportunity to preserve a piece of an important chapter in commercial aviation history. Rather than allowing the aircraft to disappear entirely, Hall and the PlaneTags team traveled to inspect and acquire material from the retired Airbus A330, ensuring that part of the aircraft would survive long after its flying days had ended.
Three Identities, One Aircraft: The Story of MH-47G 05-03761
Some aircraft serve a single role throughout their careers. Others evolve with the times.
MH-47G Chinook 05-03761 is one of the rare aircraft that spent decades transforming alongside the U.S. Army itself. What began life as a CH-47A Chinook during the Vietnam era would later be rebuilt into a CH-47D before ultimately becoming an MH-47G, one of the world's most capable special operations helicopters.
