Wondering what to buy your favorite avgeek for Christmas? Do you have someone to shop for who loves history or airplanes or loves to travel? You've come to the right place. PlaneTags has you covered, and with our Black Friday sale this year, many of our best selling PlaneTags are discounted.
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.
And why do PlaneTags make the best gift for an aviation enthusiast?
PlaneTags can be:
- Collected individually
- Collected as a set
- Used as a luggage tag
- Used as a keychain
- Displayed on a PlaneTags rack or other display

MiG-15: Cold War History Built Behind the Iron Curtain
The MiG-15 was one of the most influential jet fighters of the early Cold War. With its swept wings, near-transonic speed, and devastating cannon armament, it changed aerial combat forever and became a feared adversary in the skies over Korea.
Now, MotoArt is preserving the legacy of this iconic Soviet fighter with authentic PlaneTags made from the skin of Polish-built SBLim-2 N2400X “Red 511.” This rare trainer variant served for decades before eventually making its way to the United States, where it was preserved in 2026 for aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Two NASA T-38 Talons: Training the Pilots and Astronauts Who Pushed the Limits
Some aircraft make headlines. Others make history behind the scenes.
The Northrop T-38 Talon is one of the most important jets most people never think about. Introduced in the early 1960s, it became the world’s first supersonic trainer and has shaped generations of high-performance pilots.
At NASA, the T-38 still plays a critical role today. Long before launch, astronauts are in the cockpit of a Talon, building the precision and discipline required for spaceflight.
This release features two NASA T-38 Talons. Each followed a different path. Together, they represent the full scope of NASA flight.
Life Aboard USS Midway: The Doors That Held It All Together

Open. Closed. Passed through thousands of times.
Through MotoArt’s partnership with the USS Midway Museum, this material has been preserved and given a second life.
