Korean Air B747-400

The aircraft registration, we have 2 variations of different aircraft. 

Korean Air Luxuy Liner #HL7495 was delivered in December 1995, amidst the airline’s efforts to reshape itself into an international airline. Its use of Boeing 747s over the years and its expansion of international flights took the Korean Air from its roots as a government owned airline through years of safety issues and even a Cold War target to its current status as Korean’s largest airline and contender amongst top airlines. HL7495 offered globe-crossing flights with world class in-flight meals and state-of-the-art entertainment features that made international flights an unparalleled experience. The remaining two Korean Air 747-400s flew for the last time on November 19th, 2019.

THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES
Since its first flight in 1969 the Boeing 747 has established itself as a worldwide aviation icon. For many years, only the 747 impressed passengers with an upper deck for Prestige Class seating – creating the now familiar hump on the front of the plane. The originally small hump has been extended over the years, and some older 747s have even been retrofitted to extend the hump for a more noticeable shape.

Korean Air, the largest carrier of South Korea, was privatized in March 1969, and soon after cargo and passenger flights to the US were established. The first 747 joined the fleet in 1973, with the first 747-400 introduced in early 1995. In April, 1994, the airline celebrated its 25th anniversary, reaching the 150 million passengers carried milestone.

After receiving many requests to release a Korean Air PlaneTag we’ve been waiting patiently for an iconic 747 to become available. Finally after a year of searching we discovered our Queen in Marana, Arizona. Our Korean Air Luxury Liner #HL7495 was delivered to the airline in December 1995 and flew with Korean Air until retirement in 2017. She served a brief stint with Delta Material Services as a parts plane in 2018 before landing at last in the Southwest US.

Delivered in 1994, HL7489 was part of Korean Air’s iconic 747-400 fleet that helped elevate the airline into a global powerhouse. She flew countless long-haul routes, connecting Seoul to cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris—expanding Korea’s presence worldwide. Now retired, HL7489 lives on through PlaneTags, and in spring 2026, her forward fuselage will become a stunning exhibit in Southern California, honoring her legacy and the airline she proudly served.

We removed her crown and drove it to the shop to create limited edition tags in one of our most beautiful shades yet, a gorgeous, luminous baby blue – a PlaneTag truly everyone admires.

We carefully removed cut sections of the beautiful jewel-toned skin right in the desert boneyard setting. Each of the authentic sections go through a multiple tiered cleaning process to make sure the that the interior and exterior skins are as pristine condition before they are stamped, polished, laser etched and packaged cleaned, polished, sanded, and laser etched each PlaneTag to pay our respects to a true beauty of the skies.
