アップサイクルされたギフト: 理由のあるグリーンマンデー

The Cessna 402 has long been celebrated as a versatile workhorse of regional aviation. At MotoArt, we’re thrilled to give a new life to one of these legendary aircraft, N1361G, formerly operated by Cape Air, through our exclusive PlaneTags collection. These tags allow aviation enthusiasts and collectors to hold a tangible piece of history from a plane that served faithfully for decades.

Crafted from the skin of B-29A Superfortress S/N 44-61975, this PlaneTag honors an aircraft that served in Cold War operations and survived two brushes with destruction. Rescued by the New England Air Museum and restored as "Jack’s Hack," it now lives on as a collectible piece of aviation history.

On July 23, 1983, an incident took place that would forever change the way we think about aviation safety. Air Canada Flight 143, later dubbed the "Gimli Glider," became the star of one of the most remarkable feats of piloting in history. When the aircraft's fuel system failed mid-flight, and its engines went silent, the crew had no choice but to make an emergency landing. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary: a dead-stick landing at the former Gimli, Manitoba, race track, which saw all 69 people aboard walk away unharmed.

Join us as we take a deeper dive into the Gimli Glider’s history, its unforgettable incident, and how MotoArt continues to preserve its legacy for future generations.
