This Retro 51 Vega pen in specifically related to the National Air and Space Museum, where the bright red Lockheed 5B Vega is exposed.

Amelia Earhart set two of her many aviation records with this Lockheed. In 1932 she flew it alone across the Atlantic Ocean, then flew it nonstop across the USA, both firsts for a woman.

The pen has 'rivets' into the barrel, which gives the illusion that the pen has been put together just like the real aircraft and is printed with the original golden stripes on its bright red lacquer finish.
