Note: Every tag is one of a kind. Depending on the aircraft, the feel, material thickness, and color can vary. Small imperfections tell the story of many years in the air and bring the character of past decades to life. Minor scratches, paint wear, and irregularities are completely normal and give your Aviationtag its unique charm—true vintage character made from upcycled aircraft material. These marks are not caused by the production process; they reflect the authentic condition of the original aircraft skin.
Additional note for this edition: after around ten years in storage exposed to changeable weather, the paint can show genuine age. Small chips and wear at edges and especially in darker or black painted sections are normal and part of the aircraft’s authentic patina.
For use as a keychain or luggage tag, we recommend the Aviationtag protective cover.
Boeing 747-246F (N746CK): This Boeing 747 is a true freighter from the start—no later passenger conversion and no combi variant. N746CK (MSN 22989) first flew on October 7, 1982 and was delivered in December 1982. During its Japan Airlines years, it was part of the JAL “Super Logistics” cargo fleet and wore the Super Logistics livery for a period. Built as a factory 747-200 freighter, it is designed around cargo operations: the iconic hinged nose door enables straight-in loading of oversized freight, and the main-deck side cargo door supports efficient handling. In November 2008, the aircraft joined Kalitta Air and continued flying as N746CK. From August 2015, it was stored at Oscoda, Michigan. Now, selected upcycled aircraft material from this Jumbo freighter becomes our Aviationtag x Kalitta Air edition.
