New MotoArt PlaneTags made from NASA aircraft used by Apollo tracking stations

MotoArt's new Lockheed C-121G Super Constellation PlaneTags were cut from various areas on NASA 420, the space agency's Gemini and Apollo tracking station test aircraft, including its exterior and interior surfaces, explaining the different paint and metal finishes.

A NASA aircraft that was used to prepare the space agency's Gemini and Apollo ground stations has now "taken off" as a popular collectible.

MotoArt on Thursday (April 27) is releasing its latest, limited edition "PlaneTag," a luggage tag-inspired memento made out of the authentic skin of NASA 420, a Lockheed C-121G "Super Constellation" that was operated by the Goddard Space Flight Center from 1963 to 1973. As a PlaneTag, both air and space enthusiasts now have the chance to preserve a small part of this historic plane, while exposing new audiences to the role that NASA 420 played in ensuring Mission Control knew where their astronauts were as they circled Earth and flew to and from the moon.
