Keychain made of: C-124C Globemaster II 51-0119 (Patina)

Accepted by the USAF in 1951, 51-0119 served across various bases before being retired to the Bradley Air Museum (now the New England Air Museum). In 1979, a devastating tornado tore through the museum’s outdoor display area, destroying multiple historic aircraft, including 51-0119. The storm’s powerful winds twisted the fuselage and scattered debris across the grounds, leaving little more than wreckage behind.

Only a handful of the 448 C-124 Globemaster IIs built still exist today. Thanks to Walter Soplata’s dedication to rescuing aviation relics, 51-0119 was saved from the scrapyard after its destruction. Decades later, MotoArt unearthed its remains from the overgrowth and debris, preserving its legacy as PlaneTags.
