Cirrus SR22 GTS X G3 PlaneTag Tail # N878SR Overview:

N878SR, a Cirrus SR22 built in 2007, featured a powerful Continental turbocharged IO-550 engine. In 2015, it was replaced with an older overhauled engine, but a critical update to the camshaft gear was missed. In 2019, this oversight caused the camshaft gear to fail mid-climb, leading to a total engine failure. At 1,200 feet above ground, a passenger deployed the CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System), allowing for a safe descent, but with substantial damage to the fuselage. Its legacy was preserved in 2024 through PlaneTags.

The Cirrus SR22 has left an indelible mark on aviation history. Since 2003, Cirrus has been recognized as the best-selling general aviation aircraft worldwide. Known for its advanced technology and safety features, including the CAPS parachute system, it set new standards in personal aviation, combining performance, innovation, and peace of mind.

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. The images on this website are provided for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a particular PlaneTag.

SAFETY NOTICE: Not recommended for children under 8 years of age. This product contains original chemical-based paint which may cause respiratory irritation if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. Keep out of mouth.
