Our Boeing B-52, tail #53-394, was known as Lucky Lady III. As lead Stratofortress of Operation Power Flite, the USAF Strategic Air Command's eight-engine jet bomber departed California's Castle Air Force Base in January of 1957, becoming the first jet engine to circle the globe nonstop via in-flight refueling.
The momentous 24,325 mile trip was completed in 45 hours, 19 minutes after landing at March Air Force Base in Riverside, California. The flight around the globe won not only the 1957 Mackay Trophy, but also landed Lucky Lady III on the prized cover of Life magazine.
PlaneTags are:
- Please Note: Due to limited quantities, combination colors you may receive will vary.
*Important Notice – Please Read Carefully
PlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. Because PlaneTags are made from real fuselage, each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. These variations and imperfections are not product flaws. They are part of the beauty of PlaneTags. As a result, you will not have an option to select the color of your PlaneTag. The images on this website are provided for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a particular PlaneTag.
This plane tag is awesome! You will love it!
I was 9 years old at the time. I never thought I would own a piece of it. I got the Ohio Patina which is cool. Not only is it a great coloring it isn't smooth. I can feel the variations in the piece. I can't thank MotoArt for the PlaneTags enough. I am hooked on them and this B-52 is a great addition to my currently small collection. I am one of the customers that had a delay in getting their order for the B-52. It was stuck in the Post Office in Torrance, CA since July 4th. Customer Service at MotoArt was great in dealing with the Post Office to clear it up. It finally made it to Los Angeles and there it sits. Since I had recently placed another order for the L-1011 they included a replacement B-52. If I could I would give Customer Service a 10 and would buy them a drink.
Ordered a B-52 tag in June. Like others have posted here , it got stuck within the USPS system. Being impatient , I ordered a second B-52 tag and it arrived in just a few days. I see that the one I ordered in June is now moving within the USPS , I should have my second one soon.
If i had recieved it then maybe i could of left a review
Order #335434. B-52 tag scanned by Torrance Post Office on June 30th. Scanned again by Torrance P.O. on July 4th. That was the last scan. Still have not received my item.
The plane tag arrived at my Australian address this morning. I was excited to receive the skin from my favourite military aircraft. We do not see this aircraft flying in this country. I have shown the skin to my colleagues who were also excited to feel its surface and thickness. It is well worth purchasing from MotoArt. Regards Peter Dusha.
I cannot review this tag as it’s been sitting with USPS since 07/04/20. I haven’t received any response emails from the company either with the $80 tag that hasn’t been received.. Boeing B-52 Lucky Lady III - PLANETAG TAIL #53-394 Ohio Patina
All of the items I’ve ordered from PlaneTags have been great, unfortunately, I cannot review this one as it’s been sitting with USPS since July 4th, maybe they’ll deliver it soon ♂️
I am sorry to report that I never received the B-52 PlaneTag. I love these things, but now I am hesitant to order again.
Hard to tell; i did not receive it yet It still is in the usa
Haven’t received it yet!
I have had a very poor experience with this because, well, it hasn't arrived, is well overdue, appears to be lost, and I won't even get any further updates about it until next week. Not very happy with this experience at all.
I have never received this order! I do not have an experience to share. Help?
Placed order and got it quick! Cant wait to buy more.
I would write a review, but it’s been over two weeks and I still don’t have the tag.
Being a big airplane aficionado… I love the concept of what you do! I was so excited to get my key tag from the B-52 which was a piece of history and I was thinking it would be something I could remind myself of how much I love anything that flies. However, when I got the keychain in the mail for laminationWas not good and the surface was very scarred. I know your company offered to replace the keychain because of this production issue and being in product development, I understand the pitfalls of things that can go wrong at times. The thing that bothered me was that I have to pay for the postage going back to you folks and to me that was a major pet peeve! After I spent almost $70 for a keychain, I would expect that your company would at least pay for the shipping considering this is a production problem based off issues you Had… So I give your company two stars not because I don’t like what you do or the fact that I wouldn’t purchase more keychains, but I just felt sad after spending $70 on a keychain that you folks wouldn’t even pay for the shipping considering it was your production issue. I don’t think I’m out of line here either at all.
I never received this tag. I’ve never had any issues before and I absolutely love all the other tags I have. I just never got this one I ordered in Ohio patina.
VERY PLEASED WITH BOTH PURCHASES!
This is definitely something to get if your into avaition.
Very nice B-52 PlaneTag! It’s a great addition to my Warbird PlaneTag collection.
