The latest aircraft from the MotoArt hangar is the Northrop T-38 Talon. The Talon is a two-seat twinjet supersonic jet trainer which has been used to train USAF pilots for over half a century. It was the world’s first supersonic trainer and also its most produced. Its versatility and ease of maintenance have made it a valued tool in not only the USAF, but also NASA and other NATO air forces. It will remain in USAF use until at least 2023.
In addition to training over 80,000 USAF pilots for flying aircraft such as the B-1B Lancer, F-15C Eagle, F-22 Raptor and the SR-71 Blackbird, it serves as a workhorse for the USAF System Command. It is used for test support for test flight programs, test support aircraft, a high performance drone director, a flying laboratory for solving perplexing problems, for towing targets, transporting equipment, to test radar calibration, to test and train for passenger plane recovery procedures, and more.
MotoArt was honored to add a T-38 Talon to the PlaneTags family. Our plane #65-10454 was constructed in 1965 at Northrop in Hawthorne, California and began its career shortly after with the 12th Flying Training Wing at Randolph AFB in Texas. After retirement in August 1993 it was then acquired by the Western Museum of Flight in Torrance, California before ending up in the care of MotoArt. What was destined to become scrap has been given a new lease on life as a collectible PlaneTag.
Our newest PlaneTags are numbered to 2,000.

PlaneTags are:
*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.
ItalyGreat gray tag, love it
United StatesI love the multi color variants of the Talon. Its surprisingly bright for how weathered the airframe was. One of my favorite hidden military releases.
United StatesPurchased a metal variation of this tag from the inlet. It has a slight curve. It's great to have a piece of an aircraft type my father would have flown during training in the USAF.
United StatesLove the T-38 and absolutely love the tags from this aircraft. The blue/white combo is one of the sharpest tags I have! Love them!
United StatesAnother gem from Motoart/Planetags. I got my tag in white because that's the colour of this aircraft. This tag comes nicely engraved with some info. USAF, NASA, NATO and South America. Chile/FACH has used this aircraft for many decades, the Talon still there filling many rolls with upgrades that make it a great trainer and support aircraft.
United StatesSince MIG-28s aren’t real things the perfect stand in to go with my tomcat and A-4
United StatesI ordered 7 tags overall. 6 of the 7 tags I received were fine. The 7th was so corroded it is hard to have a decent embossed on the back...
United StatesPlane tags can bring back cherished memories from aircraft experiences. MotoArt items are high quality shipped fast. What could be better than a piece of a plane you connected with in your pocket or displayed on your wall.
United StatesGreat presentation, nice engraving, good detail.
United StatesAwesome to own such a great piece of history. Quality engraving, packaging, cutting and finishing. 100% would recommend
CanadaDurable and a nice size. Easy to order.
United StatesI am proud to have been able to own a piece of aviation history. These aircraft have flown thousands of hours over decades. Training,long distances, loops, aerobatics, experiencing G forces, WOW! the history!!
United StatesHaving flown the T-38A in Air Force Pilot Training, having my PlaneTag on my bag brings back some great memories. Please let me know when you have T-37 PlaneTags!
United StatesLike millions of former Air Force pilots, the T-38 was one of the important building blocks to achieving my “wings”. I flew the T-38 in 1971; 50 years ago. Hard to believe! Gives me a great sense of nostalgia to own a piece of this flying machine. I also have from MotoArt two of my other Air Force flying machines: B-52 and B-1B. These tags are part of me.
United StatesThis item had the same high quality of all other Planetags I've purchased. Great job folks!
United StatesBeautiful - - just wish the imprint was a little sharper, more distinct like in some of the photos. Still a nice reminder of my USAF training.
United StatesThis is one of my favorites! I only bought a white one, but I wish I had bought a couple of multi-colored ones. These are easy to buy, I just got there late, now I am waiting on-line when new tags come out.
