PlaneTags for Christmas and 2020!

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.

For more than 70 years, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress has symbolized power, endurance, and innovation in the skies. Born from the Cold War’s demand for a global-range bomber, this legendary aircraft continues to serve generations later. 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.

The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 marked a new era in American Airlines’ history and the evolution of long-haul travel. Delivered in 1973, aircraft N125AA carried passengers across the globe in polished aluminum and red, white, and blue style before later flying for Hawaiian Airlines. Decades after its final flight, MotoArt rediscovered this DC-10 at Mojave and transformed it into authentic PlaneTags. Each tag preserves a genuine piece of aviation history and celebrates the wide-body jet that defined the golden age of air travel.
