Side view of a 3 engined bizjet taxiing from right to left. The plane is almost entirely white, the only colour being the registration "OE-IOD" on the side-mounted engine pods in black, and the Austrian flag (red, white, and red horizontal bands) on the top of the tail. In the background, large expanses of grass lead up to trees in the distance, below a cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-enginedlight aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with 3 dark and light blue stripes running along the body, getting wider as they go towards the rear. The tail is mostly white, with more stripes towards the rear. The engines and wingtip fuel tanks also have blue stripes running their length. The registration N453C is on the rear fuselage in white. In the background, green grass runs off to bushes and trees on the airfield perimeter, leading to the horizon, where they meet the cloudy sky.

In the foreground, a body of water can be seen, several metres below the level of the taxiway.
