Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a green and red cheatline running along the fuselage, with some red titles in an Arabic script that transliterate to "Royal Air Maroc" on the upper forward fuselage. The large red letters "RAM" appear on the tail, under the outline of a green 5 pointed star, which appears to be leaving a red trail as it moves in an ovoid counter-clockwise ovoid path.In the foreground, a collection of blue and grey trucks, and metal cargo containers fill the bottom of the frame. In the background, a selection of buildings stretch from side to side, with trees and rolling hills in the background, under a bright but hazy sky with a slight yellow tint.

Side view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft, parked facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a black and gold cheatline running along the body, getting wider as it moves to the rear, the gold being replaced with the white registration "G-FAYE" on the rear fuselage. On the tail there is a stylised image of a, quite frankly, evil looking black cat., with a thick black stripe running along the top of the tail. In the background, the side of a grey hangar is just visible on the right of the frame, with a similar plane behind the tail of this one, pointing in roughly the direction of the camera. Behind, some white and blue temporary buildings mark a building site, with a brown brick house and a large grey warehouse on the upper left of the frame, under a dismal grey sky.
