Limited Special Edition U. USS Midway CV-41 Aircraft Carrier. For the first time in its history, structural material from the propulsion system of USS Midway (CV-41) is being made available to the public. During extreme low tides, portions of the massive propeller screws made contact with the shoreline, creating strain within the shaft alleys and stress throughout the vessel’s structure. The operation required extensive planning, underwater precision work, and significant investment by the museum. Rather than discard this historic metal, the USS Midway Museum partnered with MotoArt to preserve portions of the removed manganese-bronze for responsible stewardship. 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 or number of your PlaneTag. The images on this website are provided for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a particular PlaneTag.
