Keychain made of: Delta Airlines DC-3 NC15748

Originally built for Eastern Air Lines, this DC-3 never took to the skies under their banner. Instead, it was drafted into service with the USAAF as S/N 43-2013 during World War II. By 1949, it found its way to Delta, where it became an integral part of the airline’s expanding fleet, flying passengers and cargo for nearly a decade. In 1957, it moved on to North Central Airlines and later passed through multiple owners. In 1979, while privately owned, it was involved in a minor incident. Eventually, it was donated to the Museum of Flight, where it was repainted in a fictional Alaska Airlines livery as NC91008. After years on display at KBFI, it was removed and sold—until MotoArt acquired its original wings in 2024.

The DC-3 was the aircraft that helped Delta soar to new heights, transforming it from a regional carrier into a global powerhouse. Its legacy is woven into the fabric of modern aviation, and its impact is still felt today. 

Now, you can hold a tangible piece of history. The limited-edition Delta DC-3 PlaneTags, handcrafted from the original skin of NC15748, offer an exclusive connection to Delta’s centennial milestone. Secure yours before they’re gone—because history this legendary doesn’t last forever.
