The journey of N385PA

This Boeing 727-227 first flew on 12 May 1970. It began its airline career with Braniff International Airways as N402BN, then served Northwest Airlines under registration N206US.

On 14 March 1988, the aircraft was delivered to Pan Am as N385PA. It continued flying with the airline until 1991, then remained in boneyard storage wearing its Pan Am colours until 2023. Its fuselage now lives on in these aviation collectables.

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. The images on this website are provided for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a particular PlaneTag.

Please Note: Due to limited quantities, combination colors you may receive will vary.
