MiG-29 Fulcrum: 32 Blue, one of the first 70 MiG-29s ever built. Born from the Cold War race for air superiority, this early-production fighter was engineered to rival America’s F-16 and F/A-18. Now, MotoArt has transformed its authentic aircraft skin into collectible PlaneTags, preserving the story of a jet that spanned continents and eras.

OUR PLANE'S STORY

Built under serial number 2960507662, 32 Blue began its service with the Kyrgyzstan Air Force in the early 1990s. Distinguished by its ventral fins beneath each tailplane, a feature found only on the earliest Fulcrums, this aircraft represents the first generation of the Soviet Union’s legendary 4th-generation fighters.

As Kyrgyzstan downsized its MiG fleet, 32 Blue was sold to Air USA, founded by Don Kirlin of Quincy, Illinois. Transported aboard an Antonov An-124 to Estonia and later seized in transit, the jet finally arrived in the U.S. in 1999. Registered N6394K, it was stored at Quincy Regional Airport, where it became one of the first privately owned MiG-29s in America.

In collaboration with Don Kirlin, MotoArt’s team traveled to Quincy to recover authentic material from 32 Blue. Each panel was carefully documented and cut before being brought back to our Torrance, California workshop. The result: a new PlaneTags release that embodies the craftsmanship, engineering, and intrigue of Cold War aviation.

About the MiG-29 Fulcrum

Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau, the MiG-29 Fulcrum was the Soviet answer to the U.S. Air Force’s newest fighters. It became renowned for:

• Twin Klimov RD-33 engines delivering speeds over Mach 2.3
• Helmet-mounted sights and R-73 missiles, giving pilots unmatched agility in dogfights
• Operation from rough airfields and forward bases
• Service across more than 30 nations, from Eastern Europe to Asia and the Middle East

Early variants like 32 Blue defined the Fulcrum’s legacy—fast, powerful, and instantly recognizable by their blended wings, twin tails, and distinctive profile.

DISCLAIMER

Perfect Aviation Gift

PlaneTags are: 

• 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. 
• Collectible - each one is numbered in a limited edition and comes attached to a display card. 
  
• Versatile - comes with a durable metal ring, strong enough to attach to luggage or keys or display.

*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.
