South Bay Chapter meeting in Torrance on May 8.
If you are an aircraft enthusiast and have wondered what becomes of commercial and military planes that are no longer in service, come join us for our May tour of MotoArt. The crew at MotoArt rescues planes of yesteryear and preserves them in a way that gives everyone an opportunity to own part of aviation history.
At their manufacturing facility and showroom in Torrance, MotoArt creates functional furniture and unique art for the home or office from planes that have been decommissioned. They have been a part of the South Bay’s aviation and aerospace community for decades. Articles about MotoArt have been in local newspapers and numerous magazines.
The numerous models of planes have been honored by having desks, tables, beds, benches, sculptures and art made from them, including the B-1B Bomber and the 747. Another way that MotoArt allows industry aficionados to enjoy a small part of aviation is through their PlaneTags™ division. The company makes plane tags for your luggage or keys that are made from the skins of various commercial, defense and vintage aircraft or rotocraft. The latest Plane Tag that MotoArt offers is a limited edition from Lockheed’s SR-71 Blackbird.
