My white N910NA arrived today. I had unintentionally ordered the N864NA tag instead of this one as soon as they went live, in an attempt to ensure I got one in case they all sold out. I noticed my mistake right after placing the order (of course...) and emailed them asking if they could substitute the 910 tag instead. They did, fortunately.As a sort of a happy bonus, my tag's serial # is 0452 of 4250. |

The next addition to MotoArts' PlaneTags NASA collection is coming July 9. For the first time, we're creating PlaneTags from the aft skirt of a Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster, a critical component that helped launch the Shuttle into orbit. This piece flew on 10 missions, supporting launches from all five Space Shuttle orbiters — Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. After its service, it became part of an exhibit at the California Science Center. On July 9, a limited number of these PlaneTags will be released. |

Looking forward to see what this will be priced at - hopefully not too severe, although given its rarity...At what price point do others here think this would not be worth it, if there is one? |
