Kalitta Boeing 747 - N746CK (Black/White)

Aviationtag x Kalitta Air

The Boeing 747 is aviation’s heavyweight icon—and N746CK is a true freighter from day one. This Boeing 747-246F(SCD) (MSN 22989) first flew on October 7, 1982 and was delivered in December 1982. During its Japan Airlines era, it became part of the JAL “Super Logistics” cargo fleet and wore the Super Logistics livery for a period—an unmistakable look from the golden age of long-haul freight.

Built for cargo at the factory, this 747-200 freighter was designed around what mattered most: moving oversized loads efficiently. The iconic hinged nose door enabled straight-in loading for bulky freight, while the “SCD” configuration added side cargo capability—features that helped make the Jumbo a legend in global logistics.

In November 2008, the aircraft joined Kalitta Air as N746CK and continued its cargo career in the United States. From August 2015, it was stored at Oscoda, Michigan—its long working life preserved in the aircraft skin that now lives on in this release. After around ten years of storage in changeable weather, it’s normal for the paint to show honest wear; small chips and flaking can appear at edges and especially in darker or black painted sections, forming part of the aircraft’s authentic patina.

Now, selected upcycled aircraft material from this authentic freighter becomes a limited edition aviation tag: a collectible aircraft tag created in cooperation with Kalitta Air. If you’ve been waiting for a pure cargo “Queen of the Skies” in your collection, this Aviationtag x Kalitta Air edition is exactly that—real aviation history you can carry every day.

The original aircraft paint of this edition is very sensitive, especially at the edges – even though we gave it extra care. That is not a reason that we can accept for claims or complaints. Please take good care of your tag and we strongly suggest to use the Aviationtag protection cover.
