Sorry,Matt.I could be mistaken on the photograph.I believe it might've been shot by someone else at the Tenerife airport.What I heard about the photographer being a KLM passenger,and the film later recovered from the wreckage could be false.

: the airport that time of other aircraft
: parked at the gates. Some how which I need

: it.This clipper is N739PA CLIPPER MAID OF
: THE SEA'S can some verify that this is true
: and correct on that particular day these two
: 741's were there. I thought it was KLM'S 741
: AND A 707B there. I have tried the PAN AM
: data and google search to the where abouts
: N739PA was that day can any one give light
