Hello,Matt.Are you asking if N739PA was at the Tenerife airport?You're question is not quite clear,but the answer is no.There were only two 747s there on that dreadfull afternoon:Clipper Victor,and,the KLM plane,PH-BUF,named Rijn.If you're asking about the photo taken of the Clipper Victor,in which the KLM tail can be seen reading "The Flying Dutchman",yes,it is authentic.I believe it was photographed by one of the KLM passengers,just before the accident.I hope I was of some help.Thank you.
