FATHERSDAY30 gets 30% off. Looks like the code is for today June 7th only.

I think it's worth noting that N198UA was retired in United "Rising Blue" so the blue tags will be UA blue and not CO blue.

N198UA was one of the donor planes, along with N196UA, for Scale Composite's Stratolaunch. This is mentioned on the Motoart tag page, as well as on the product package.

Actually, if you order a custom one, the blue is still available ($37.95). Already have a VS 747 (white) and really wanted a UA blue, so coughed up the additional cost for engraved version. Unfortunately the Father's Day code doesn't apply to custom orders. However, code PT15 does for only 15% discount - something is better than nothing :-D.

They've significantly expanded their selection since I last checked; including a B-1B for $150 (too expensive), SR-71 (sold out), and B-17 (sold out).

Blue ones available for engraving but discount code doesn't work for engraved tags. Bought 2 engraved and 1 regular (with 30% off the regular).

Doh, wish I saw your post before I ordered (and posted).

Pretty cool, But it should have the UAUA font for United, complete with winged T. The frame was retired before being desecrated with Smisek’s handiwork, after all.

Looks like blue UA tag is back in stock! And FATHERSDAY30 code is still in effect.

I find it insulting whenever the globe or Smisek anything is used for real United things. Gemini Jets uses the not official globe for United liveries on the boxes

Atlas Air purchased N119UA and flew it to from VCV to HKG on June 19.

It's good to know it's flying again. Cargo conversion or keep as a charter plane?

Would it still require the fuel tank mod or whatever it was that hastened the retirement? Or because it is a cargo operation that requirement is waived?

I thought the fuel tank mod thing was for 757's?
