Step into aviation history with the newest marvel from Plane Chains: the Douglas DC-3 C-FGXW edition!
Embodied in these exceptional Plane Chains is the essence of the legendary, record breaking DC-3, nicknamed "Odyssey 86". In 1986 she began the first DC-3 to ever circumnavigate the globe. These historic tags are availible in both white and green.
These keychains are 3.6cmx8.8cm in size, they feature the original paint, wear, and tear of the aircraft, and are laser engraved with aircraft details.
Originating in 1944 as C/N 13868, it served as a C-47 during WWII under the USAAF and RCAF. Post-war, it became CF-TEG for Trans-Canada Airlines, then C-FGXW for Transport Canada's airway calibration. Acquired by Barry Lapointe, it circled the globe in 1986, visiting 55 cities in 28 countries during Expo 86, marking the first DC-3 to achieve this feat.
