La Rosa Art. Built by hand. Backed by legend.
Cool hangar bars are all the rage and the best ones start with a piece of LaRosa Art.
At the end of the day, when the props stop spinning and the last plane is put away, everyone drifts back to LaRosa’s Skywagon Saloon. It’s where stories are told, beer flows cold, whiskey is poured neat—and the scent of a good pipe lingers in the air. The neon hums to life, and the day winds down the way it should. Old friends and new faces gather in the fading light, bound by a shared love of flight.
The Skywagon Saloon isn’t just a bar. It’s a brotherhood—a pilots-only clubhouse where the doors don’t open for just anyone. You don’t buy your way in. It’s for those who’ve flown hard and earned their place at the table.
Every airport has a brotherhood of pilots. But not every airport brotherhood has a place like the Skywagon Saloon. It should. Build it—and start with a piece of LaRosa Art.
LaRosa’s handcrafted neon signs are built from steel and imagination—each one a tribute to the golden age of aviation. With real neon, vintage styling, and unmistakable character, these pieces will turn any hangar into legendary gathering spots.
Every legend needs a backdrop. This is yours.
Hand-cut, hand-built, and lit with real neon. No mass production, no shortcuts—just raw steel and cowboy grit. These aren’t just signs. They’re stories that glow.
Custom-Built Aviation Neon Art by LaRosa. Born from imagination—not reproduction—this one-of-a-kind piece channels the spirit of 1940s aviation in glowing neon.
Designed by LaRosa and crafted entirely by hand, this sign didn’t exist in the golden era of flight… but it should have.
Built from 6" purlin and 1/8" steel plate, finished in automotive-grade paint with hand painted acrylic detailing, and sealed with a high-gloss clear coat then real neon tubing is added to bring the design to life—warm, nostalgic, and unmistakably classic. Handmade by LaRosa; each one is unique.

Angelle and Leslie brought the energy, the adventure, and a whole lot of laughs. Angelle surprised her husband with a custom vintage Cessna neon sign for their 30th anniversary, and LaRosa made it happen in just one week. Despite storms, cancelled flights, and a 12-hour drive through pouring rain, these two made it to Lubbock and back to New Orleans — mission accomplished. Watch the full story unfold.
Step into the world of LaRosa’s custom sign builds. Some moments show the process, others capture the final glow —but all of them reflect the creativity, grit, and personality behind each piece. Every sign tells a story, and this is where they come to life.
