Low side view of a 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with landing gear deployed and wheels hanging at random angles, and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly grey, with a creamy-white belly. There are large, maroon, billboard-style "QATAR" titles on the forward fuselage, as well as under the belly. There is the maroon head of a goat like animal with two horns pointing slightly backwards from the top of the head on the tail, with smaller versions on each of the engine pods. Behind, the sky is a flat grey.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with large, dark blue "MALEV" on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller "Hungarian Airlines" a bit further back, over the wing root. The tail and rear fuselage are a dark blue, with 3 diagonal stripes (Green, white, red) forming something that bears a vague similarity to a letter "M". In the background, a smaller plane is a similar colour scheme is facing away from the camera, just in front of this planes nose. Further back, in the middle of the frame, a tall building with yellow side sections holds up a middle section with a green glazed tower, on top of which is something resembling a large golf ball. Other buildings can be seen off towards the middle left of the frame, with grass extending off into the far distance on the right, under a blue sky streaked with grey.
