PlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. Each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut. Therefore, it is rare to create two identical PlaneTags. These variations and imperfections are not product flaws.
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.
- Please note: Due to limited quantities combination colors you may receive will vary.
Caution: Not recommended for children under 8 years of age. This product contains chemical-based paint which may cause respiratory irritation if ingested of inhaled in large quantities. Keep out of mouth.
I ordered in a weekend and needed my purchase by a certain date. I was told when I ordered it would arrive on a specific day. And it sure did. Thanks so much for the great service.
Excellent product - be sure to shake-mix prior to use, the solids fall out of solution pretty quickly. So far we haven't had to use any reducer. This product is exactly what a well known structures rebuilder located in Indiana uses.
Great price. Prefer a hard copy...but printing from FAA website is not practical or what I was looking for. This periodical is perfect to replace my 15+ year old version. Love that Pilot Head Quarters had it on sale.
