Boeing 747 - VQ-BWM - Blue

The "City of Vancouver" lives on – as an Aviationtag

Celebrate with us one of the last built Boeing 747 Combi aircraft with this exclusive Aviationtag. Made from the fuselage of the Boeing 747-400M, MSN 28460, with each tag you hold a true piece of aviation rarity in your hand. The aircraft entered service in 1999 with KLM as PH-BFV and was in operation for over two decades as a passenger-freight “Combi” Jumbo – one of only 61 built of this type. Under the name “City of Vancouver” it connected Amsterdam with the world. In its second chapter, it flew as VQ-BWM with JetOneX (operated by Longtail Aviation) freight on long-haul routes – briefly the only Boeing 747-400M in commercial service worldwide.

After its retirement, the Jumbo was dismantled in Stansted in 2024 – but the story continues: We were able to secure parts of the original outer skin and transform them into a unique product. The result is an Aviationtag with true 747 character – featuring original paint, visible rivets, and an engraved serial number.

What makes this aircraft tag edition special: In addition to the classic KLM blue, there are also variants in dark blue and white – some with original foil elements that were applied during JetOneX operations. These may slightly detach over time – this is not a defect, but a visible sign of authenticity.

A must for collectors: a numbered, limited tag that combines aviation history and upcycling. Whether on your keychain or in a display case – this Boeing 747 tag is a tangible tribute to the queen of the skies. Get your personal piece of the 747 legend now!

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.
