Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with engines mounted on the rear fuselage taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly. There are black "Portugalia" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of green and red bands that run from under the body to almost the top. The tail has similar but smaller bands, overlaid with a yellow circle. In the background, a scattering of light aircraft are parked on a grassed area, with more parked on tarmac fuurther back, with a large grey building dominating the left of the frame in the distance. with rows of trees even further back, and hills looming over everything.

Closeup of the tail of a very large jet airliner parked facing to the right. The planes body is white, with an aquamarine tail withdarker blue at the top and bottom, and white swirls, suggesting surf on an ocean. In the background, the nose of a smaler plane is just poking in to view on the left side. The background rapidly fades into haze as we look across the airfield.
