OUR PLANE'S STORY
The Gimli Glider, a Boeing 767, became famous for its emergency landing on July 23, 1983, after a critical fuel miscalculation caused both engines to fail mid-flight. Pilots Captain Robert Pearson and First Officer Maurice Quintal managed to glide the unpowered aircraft to a successful landing at an abandoned race track in Gimli, Manitoba, saving all 69 people aboard. The incident became a symbol of skill, quick thinking, and the extraordinary capabilities of both the aircraft and its crew.

DISCLAIMER
PlaneTags are Handmade Aviation Tags
- Authentic - made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal.
- Unique - each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags.
*Important Notice – Please Read Carefully
PlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. Because PlaneTags are made from real fuselage, each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. These variations and imperfections are not product flaws. They are part of the beauty of PlaneTags. As a result, you will not have an option to select the color of your PlaneTag.
