The McDonnell F-101A Voodoo was a groundbreaking aircraft of the Cold War era, designed for supersonic speeds and versatile missions. Used primarily in the 1950s and 1960s, it became a critical part of the U.S. Air Force’s Century Series of fighter jets. One of these extraordinary planes, tail number 53-2422, was recently discovered in the Mojave Desert and has been transformed into collectible PlaneTags, preserving its incredible story.

OUR PLANE'S STORY

Tail number 53-2422 lived a life of service and innovation. It began as a testbed, advancing aviation technology through experimental configurations. Later, it joined NASA in the 1960s, where it trained astronauts, including Apollo 11’s Command Module Pilot, Major General Michael Collins. After its flying days ended, it served as a radar target, and now, its legacy is being honored through PlaneTags that bring its story to life.

The F-101A Voodoo was more than just a fighter jet—it was a pioneer in aviation history. Known for its supersonic capabilities, it fulfilled roles as an interceptor, reconnaissance aircraft, and technological innovator. Its influence extended far beyond its operational years, leaving a lasting impact on both aviation design and the pilots and astronauts it trained.

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.
