News — Airline Time Machine

Hello from the Airline Time Machine gang!  We'll be away for holiday/vacation between June 15 and 30, so won't be able to process orders during that time. You're welcome to visit our online store, and place an order, but the making of items for your order (and the shipping of your order!) won't take place until the week of July 1. Cheers!

Our customers are the best inspiration! During the 2023 Airliners International show in Dallas, we had a lively discussion with a couple of customers who were buying several of our acrylic airplane swizzle sticks. They explained that the purchase was NOT going to be used for beverages, but rather as cake decorations for the upcoming retirement party of an airline captain - BRILLIANT! Inspired by that discussion, we're introducing a series of cake decorations that feature our interpretation of several of the most recognized aircraft design styles in history: the DC-3, the supersonic SST, the classic 4-engine Quad Jet, the...

We had an excellent time at the Airliners International 2023 show held at DFW Airport at the end of June! Many thanks to the show organizers and volunteers of the World Airline Historical Society, hotel staff, our fellow sellers/vendors and the interesting, discerning, enthusiastic customers we met. A highlight of the show was the many stories we heard from customers about their personal connection to a particular airline or airliner.

Our attendee reservation and trade show table bookings are made-n-paid, and Airline Time Machine will be attending the world's premier airline collector event: Airliners International being held in Dallas 22-24 June of 2023! Now the work begins to decide what items to bring to the trade show, as well as drawing up a shopping list for airline and aviation items to add to our collections - the goal will be to return home after the show with less luggage than we arrived with!

Not our typical product offering, but an unusual opportunity to own a hard-to-find Gemini Jets 1:400 737-800 model in Sun Country's 2000-era then-new colors! A small number of new in box, unopened, original interior packaging Sun Country 737-800 diecast models are being offered for sale. These models depict Sun Country's first 737-800, registered N800SY, and named "Primo", delivered to the airline in January 2001. The airline commissioned a single production run of just 2,500 of these models (under Gemini Jets Item Number GJSCX190), and they are tough to find after more than 20 years. What makes these highly unusual is that the...
