The plane is mostly white, with black, purple, orange, and yellow stripes running along the body, coming together to form the head of an eagle on the nose. The same lines appear on the wings and tail, resembling feathers on a wing. In the background, several planes are parked in between blue metal columns hoding up the roof. There are colour artifacts on the right of the frame due to shooting through glass.
