You found it from WHAT!
Mysterious_Silver_27@reddit
His personal island!
Toneballs52@reddit
We used a scaffolding company called Twin Towers, in their defence it was owned by twins.
Mysterious_Silver_27@reddit
Shouldn’t that be Twin’s Towers?
sirmilkalot@reddit
Found this one on the fridge 😬
Mysterious_Silver_27@reddit
Now you need to put a white 747 magnet on that fridge slightly below the blue one
_A_Friendly_Caesar_@reddit
Oh god, next thing you know, someone's gonna post another one in PanAm white
Dangerous-Honey7422@reddit
Oh dear it exists in blue
ThirdSunRising@reddit
Another SP! But in KLM blue so yeah it’s spooky
Mysterious_Silver_27@reddit
I hope this has a buy one get one free sort of deal 🤣
kayl_breinhar@reddit
The AvGeek in me is annoyed that this is clearly a 747 SP, which wasn't one of the planes involved in the accident. It was a -121 and a -206B.
Enough-Astronomer-65@reddit
only 747 SP i know that definitely had some red was N4522V
joesnopes@reddit
VH-EAA and EAB spent most of their lives with a red tail.
fulfillthecute@reddit
Ouch. At least that plane survived
Enough-Astronomer-65@reddit

fulfillthecute@reddit
A few other Dynasty planes did not 💀

Agreed
jekyll-aldehyde@reddit
Reminds me of my NYC souvenir (twin towers!)
oslyander@reddit
I literally came here to write “747s on Tenerife? Ooof”.
CH86CN@reddit
Specialist-Log-9152@reddit
Yeah...
_missfoster_@reddit
I actually felt my ponytail move my whole scalp back a notch.
rileyjonesy1984@reddit
Exact same thought
Udjebfk@reddit
At least it's not KLM
GhostStationBusker@reddit
or Pan Am
REMcycleLEZAR@reddit
And neither plane was red.
Informal_Ad_9610@reddit
isn't it a bit early for that?

Goddammit man how dare you say that, I can’t stop laughing long enough to downvote your horrible comment

Oh god
sneijder@reddit
I upvoted with my head, my heart suggested the opposite.
AreWeThereYetNo@reddit
Oof
Electroboy101@reddit
I presume they made this before the incident.
mr638@reddit (OP)
I bought it like 30m ago at a supermarket lmao
Schwalbe262Guy@reddit
Cursed… look up the Tenerife disaster. Everyone has been reminded of it…
mr638@reddit (OP)
I’m from here
ZeBridgeIsOut5@reddit
Yeah I'm sure you are but you may be too young (or not an actual aviator or something) ....to realize this is not simply a souvenir of the island, it's more of a souvenir of a major disaster.
mr638@reddit (OP)
That’s why it’s on r/aviation
fedeger@reddit
I think that is the reason they posted on r/aviation
rofeneiniger@reddit
Gotta cash in on that generational trauma 🤑

What supermarket? Yikes

“We’re going”
Kardinal@reddit
Tenerife. 747.
Most may miss it, but among Avgeeks and Aviation buffs, that's going to evolve a very very specific memory.
gtponydriver@reddit
Yes, it reminds me of every CRM class I’ve taken since the beginning of my career. It is definitely a staple video of CRM.
robkillian@reddit
Salesforce sure has some weird trainings
sorrymizzjackson@reddit
I’m going to use it next week. It really gets the point across. I love using Sioux City as a positive example to not depress everyone too much though.
CerealATA@reddit
I may not be an avgeek, but Tenerife and 747 have been living rent-free inside my head ever since I read a magazine article about it many years ago.
Unable_Ad8675@reddit
Evoke* but yeah
Kardinal@reddit
Thank you for the correction. A victim of autocorrect and my negligent editing.
JeTeChIsAl@reddit
😟
_A_Friendly_Caesar_@reddit
Tenerife North or Tenerife South?
HorizonSniper@reddit
Oh, that's... Hehe. That's grim.
zibudotai@reddit
Guess what I think of 747 and Tenerife. This is probably not the best refrigerator magnet.
JuanTamadKa@reddit
Are these on souvenir shops before 1977?
TheReallyAngryOne@reddit
The OP got it a half hour before posting...
Square_Grand_3616@reddit
I’d love to have this. I would pin them next to my two Italian Air Force Aermacchi jets.
aka_Handbag@reddit
What happened to the other one?
EspressoK@reddit
Asking the right questions
umbrella_crab@reddit
Yeesh
csbsju_guyyy@reddit
Keep it away from fog and other toy 747s!
pollococo90@reddit
Also from fake terroristic threats!
BillWilberforce@reddit
Or pilots and ATC using non-standard terminology.
Chip3165@reddit
Toy 747- “We are at takeoff”
LaddieNowAddie@reddit
Good summary lol
IvoryImpulse@reddit
Omg thats so cute!! I totally need something like this from my last trip ✈️😍
anonymous486123@reddit
Dang…
TheFightingImp@reddit
die_liebe@reddit
It's clearly a B747SP.
stocksy@reddit
Oh yeah, well I’ve got one from Elevenerife!
mr638@reddit (OP)
We are like Springfield and Shelbyville they saved us from the curse of the lemon tree
Enough-Astronomer-65@reddit
I wonder how
K_the_Rev@reddit
Ouch. Top of the table for terrible island/aircraft combos for a souvenir.
What's next? A Martha's Vineyard/Piper Saratoga keyring maybe?
A Madeira/727 snowglobe?
Joehansson@reddit
I’d like the Faro DC-10 please
IAmTheHype427@reddit
Hmm, which one would work for my geography?
looks out on NYC skyline
Y’know, on second thought…
Enough-Astronomer-65@reddit
the guy that lives in Lockerbie is sweating right now
CerealATA@reddit
It could've been worse.
It could've been MH370 or MH17.
Tommy84@reddit
I guess the next one in the set says ‘Lockerbie’?
No_Advertising_9355@reddit
Or JAL 123.
TigerIll6480@reddit
Or TWA 800.
Enough-Astronomer-65@reddit
or China airlines 006 or China airlines 611, or Korean airlines 007
PleasantSir9581@reddit
how cursed
Enough-Astronomer-65@reddit
MelodicFondant@reddit
Genuinely one of the funniest knockoffs i have ever seen
"Oi Johnny,we gotta get some decal on this 747 thing,right?"
"Planes crash right? Uhhh put tenerife on there"
Swimming_Lawyer1260@reddit
Oops
transtector@reddit
LMAO fuck that's dark
ThirdSunRising@reddit
Oh man that’s bananas, how could that possibly exist
3bugsdad@reddit
Shouldn't it be two 747s?

Limited edition? About 583 made maybe?
...... I'll leave
paulomario77@reddit
Cursed
badbatch@reddit
This is absolutely cursed! 😭
xolinlevh@reddit
Going to Tenerife for the first time later this year…..reading the story about this gives me nightmares
mr638@reddit (OP)
Don’t worry you ll fly to the southern one. That’s the one used for international flights. Los Rodeos airport has the majority of its operations from mainland Spain.
xolinlevh@reddit
I believe we’re going into the northern one (TFN), connecting in through Madrid
mr638@reddit (OP)
Yeah, you ll land at the same place then
IShouldGetBackToWork@reddit
They should do matching souvenir planes to sell at every airport that's had a major aviation disaster. That'll get the gift shops going.
grumpyfan@reddit
Oh, the feels! Yikes!
Spiritual-One-683@reddit
Hmmmm…
craftyhall2@reddit
Yikes that’s dark.
bonadies24@reddit
Absolutely diabolical
PhoenixSpeed97@reddit
Oh boy...

I hope they weren't selling a different colored one facing the opposite direction.

Arrggghh so many issues

Dear god
That-Advance-9619@reddit
16 millones de turistas llegan al archipiélago al año, a estas alturas el accidente no viene a la mente sino turismo la verdad.
De hecho hay un avión de Binter llamado Tenerife creo que está en la ruta con la península.

“Is he not clear then?”
TheVoicesSpeakToMe@reddit
Surprised they made the model of a 747SP specifically.
_zaten_@reddit
They could have picked ANY other plane, but instead went with a 747

“Tenerife” you say…
Babytrix@reddit
My sis in law was just there last month and brought me back a magnet like this as a souvenir because she knows I like planes! Mine is a white body with blue and red. I was shocked they sold these just because it's so grim if you know...
WolfSquare9694@reddit
Dayum that's like twin towers or some sort of that shit...
Airwolfhelicopter@reddit
Putting it on a 747 is… yeesh.
DiligentCredit9222@reddit
Nothing that unusual and not really related to the '77 accident. Boeing 747's were not that unusual in the Past at Tenerife North/Los Rodeos airport during the busy holiday season.

Don't put it on your fridge...

Do you think Another 747 may appear in the foggy days ?
CouchPotatoFamine@reddit
Or your fridge motor will overheat and explode.
KwHFatalityxx@reddit
Prudent_Situation_29@reddit
Yeah, Tenerife and 747s don't exactly have a great history together.

At least it’s not a 767

WellTextured@reddit
Upvoted for content, but downvoted in my heart. Who thought that was a good idea.
mattyGOAT1996@reddit
"Teneri-fe! Nearly 600 people died on Teneri-fe! 2 fully loaded 747s crashed into each other on Teneri-fe! This was the 50th worst air disaster and no one on the ground died!" - Walter White

Damnit. Came here to make the same comment.
cc201129r@reddit
