Boeing 747 - PH-BFG
The “Flying Dutchman” is back!
The Boeing 747-400 was delivered to the Dutch airline KLM in April 1990 with the registration PH-BFG. With the manufacturer's serial number (MSN) 24517 and christened the "City of Guayaquil", the machine went to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Toronto, among other places, for almost 30 years.
In 2019, the aircraft was decommissioned and handed over to Air Atlanta Icelandic for recycling. They re-registered this as TF-AMG and parked it at Cotswold Airport, where it was finally dismantled in March 2021.

Note: Every tag is unique. Depending on the plane, tags may vary in terms of haptics, material thickness and colour. Small blemishes bear witness to the plane’s long history and are an authentic reminder of its glory days over the clouds. Small scratches, flaky paint and imperfections are totally normal and give our Aviationtags their unique charm – the charm of a vintage product crafted from upcycled materials. These quirks are not the result of the production process, they simply reflect the state of the aircraft material we use when it was extracted.
The original aircraft paint of this edition is very sensitive, especially at the edges – even though we gave it extra care. That is not a reason that we can accept for claims or complaints. Please take good care of your tag and we strongly suggest to use the Aviationtag protection cover.
Boeing 747 : The Boeing 747 is a wide-body, four-engine jetliner which rose to aviation fame in the late 1960s. The first 747 completed its virgin flight in 1969 and remained the largest passenger jet in the world until 2005. Its wingspan is 64.44 m and the vertical elongation at the wingtip can be up to 16 m. It is also well known for its “hump” silhouette which earned it the nickname Jumbo Jet. Compared to previous 747s, the most significant aerodynamic improvement in the 747-400 is the wing size, which is 1.8 m (6 ft) longer with a 6 ft. high winglet that is angled upwards and slightly outward.
