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.

*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.

Understanding the history behind that piece of metal it’s a mind blowing thing! Highly appreciate the chance to own a piece of it

I am thrilled .I was always a fan of actual historical things and making connections. F-4B Phantom and B-52 Lucky lady I do not look at these as war planes, but history, still thrilled getting actual pieces of history . Thanks Dave could not be happier. I am not certain if I will use as luggage tags, value them too much, but the cable to attach is well made. Perhaps I will get a 747 tag for my luggage??
It was good however, I was trying to make this as a gift and it asks your for your phone number. I put my number and it printed it on the tag. It didn’t specify that it would actually print it or else I would’ve put the recipients number. Other than that great. Now o have to reorder a new one with correct phone number ♂️
I have been a fan of the B-52 for many years. To own a piece of one and have it personalized was great.
Awesome product
This particular aircraft has a little family history behind my purchasing this tag...my father worked on avionics on it in early 1960's.. Really nice to have a piece of this plane in my collection...well worth the price..super fast shipping...
I look at this flat piece of metal as a touchstone to history. I mean, this was "There". It is amazing to hold something that was a part of the first jet round the world flight non stop.
Great. It's a great conversation starter. I love that it's a piece of history.
More than I expected. I am excited owning a tiny piece of aviation history. Looking forward to adding more.
I attached working bag for daily job. The bag color is olive, so the tag matched the bag.
