Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a grey belly, a blue stripe running along the body, and blue titles in Cyrillic that translate to "Aviation Express" in English. The tail has a yellow circle with a stylised blue flying bird in the middle, and the registration "UR-42544" in black on the tail-mounted centre engine inlet. Grey-brown concrete apron fills the foreground and much of the background, with black buildings with red and white stripes nestled in trees in the distance.

Massively back-lit side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner looming out of the mist at a cold and frosty airport. There are dark blue, billboard-style "FinnAir" titles on the side of the plane's upper fuselage, and a dark blue capital "F" on the tail. Green grass covered with frost fills the foreground, the background is filled with thin orange mist, glowing because of the rising sun glowing through it.

Low side view of a white, twin engioned jet airliner with a red forward fuselage flying from left to right at a low altitude. The plane has flaps extended from behind the wings, the undercarriage already tucked away, and the nose raised fairly sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There are white "NorwegianDotCom" titles on the lower forward fuselage, red upturned wingtips, and a red tip of the tail. The tail itself has a black and white line drawing ofof a man in an extravagant wig, with the name "Ludwig Holberg" against a purple background at the bottom. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.
