ALOHA 737-N824AL

A piece of the last era of Hawaiian island hopping. Cut from the fuselage of Boeing 737-200 N824AL, which finished its life still wearing Aloha Airlines' Bird of Paradise livery.

The aircraft

It started life far from Hawaii. Delivered to TAP Air Portugal as CS-TEO in July 1983, it flew short haul routes across Europe for TAP and its charter arm Air Atlantis until early 1998.

In March 1998 it was re registered N824AL and joined Aloha Airlines. Aloha named its 737s after Hawaiian royalty and Polynesian navigators, and this aircraft was christened for Kalaniopu'u, supreme monarch of the island of Hawaii and of Maui's Hana district during the 1700s. In 1999 a flowered lei was painted along the fuselage for that year's Aloha Festivals.

N824AL was withdrawn in March 2008 and made its final landing at Mojave later that year. MotoArt recovered it in 2023.

Choosing the Partial option

On a Partial tag the paint break falls off centre, so the split between colours sits in a different place on every single piece. The exact position, proportion and shape of the break on the tag you receive will differ from the photograph, and no two are alike. That is what makes each one a single object rather than one of a run.

What you receive

• One PlaneTag cut from the actual fuselage of N824AL
• Laser etched with the aircraft type and registration
• Numbered as part of a limited edition, on its display card
• Durable metal ring for keys, luggage or display

Please read before ordering

PlaneTags are cut from real aircraft skin, not stamped from new metal. Each carries the paint, thickness and wear of the exact section it came from. Variation is the point, not a fault. Colour cannot be selected and photographs are a guide only.

Not suitable for children under eight. Contains aircraft paint. Keep out of mouths.
