CH-47 Chinook Planetag No.91-00234

Chinook PlaneTag

Your favorite historic plane could be in our several choices of plane tags at Aviator Mercantile Post.  If you are old enough to remember Vietnam, then you remember the first time you saw this miraculous airplane, nicknamed the 'Hook.'   Our CH-47 Chinook PlaneTags maintain the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut so it's extremely rare to have an identical, they are one-of-a-kind.  A true warrior would understand the beauty in the imperfections in the skin of a war machine after the battle, and we think these Planetags are a thing of historic beauty. 

This PlaneTag is cut from a Boeing CH-47 Chinook that was first delivered to the United States Army in September 1968 as a C model serial #68-15814. In 1991 it was then converted to a D model and issued a new serial #91-00234 and assigned to the Army Nation Guard in Stockton, California under Company C - "Delta Schooners". On  February 11th, 1998 this was involved in a mid-air collision with a civilian light aircraft.

This American twin-engine, tandem-rotor, heavy-lift helicopter, developed by American rotor-craft company Vertol and manufactured by Boeing Vertol (later known as Boeing Rotorcraft Systems), is among the heaviest lifting Western helicopters (capable of lifting up to 50k pounds) - as well as one of the fastest.
