Keychain made of: United Airlines Boeing 747 N120UA gray

The Aircraft: United’s Queen of the Skies

Delivered in 1999, N120UA flew premier international routes across the globe, from San Francisco to Tokyo, Chicago to Frankfurt, and beyond. As part of United’s final fleet of 747-400s, it helped the airline connect continents and define the golden age of long-haul travel before its retirement in 2017.

With a distinctive humpback silhouette, powerful Pratt & Whitney engines, and long-range capabilities, the 747-400 was the flagship of United’s global operations for years. N120UA stood at the center of that legacy. 

From Skies to Your Hands

After retirement, N120UA was sent to the Victorville boneyard, where MotoArt recovered sections of its fuselage to preserve its story through our PlaneTags collection. Each tag is individually cut, numbered, and finished by hand in California. 

No two are exactly alike. Each one carries its own markings, color variations, and weathered character from its years of service.
