Classic Aero-TV: Planetags Give Old Planes A Second Life

From SUN n FUN 2024 (YouTube Edition): Put a Piece of Aviation History In Your Pocket

PlaneTags have become a yearly presence at pretty much every airshow of note, and it’s not surprising why: For those who love to see legendary aircraft in action, PlaneTags allows them to take home a piece of the legend as a nifty little historically authentic souvenir.

ANN Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell spoke with the owner of Motoart PlaneTags, Dave Hall, at SUN 'n FUN this year. His company sources authentic portions of the skins from aircraft of all stripes, whether they come from a retired plane on the way to the boneyard or a legendary warbird in the shop for a restoration. It’s a nifty bit of recycling, where they take waste parts and turn them into a memento of the original aircraft.

Each PlaneTag sports a laser engraving of the tail number, the make, the model, and a little blurb about its history in the industry. Hall said the firm releases new PlaneTags every two weeks, and keeps a 3-year backlog of new designs in the pipeline. Those who eye particularly cool tags should know, it can get awfully competitive when a particularly rare aircraft ends up on the PlaneTag market.
