What are PlaneTags?

 

PlaneTags are small pieces of authentic aircraft skin, which have been removed from a decommissioned plane then cut into an oval shape. Each one is laser engraved with a drawing of the plane it comes from, the name of the plane, its registration or tail number, and its number in the series. Each PlaneTag is attached to a display card which tells more about the plane and its history. They can be customized on the back to make it a truly personal and touching gift.
