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.

MotoArt now honors that enduring legacy with handcrafted B-52 Coasters, made from authentic aircraft aluminum sourced from Dave Hall’s Mojave boneyard collection. Each coaster is a tangible piece of aviation history, reimagined for collectors who appreciate timeless craftsmanship and the story behind every rivet.
