Side view of an olive green, single engined military jet fighter plane taxiing from left to right. The plane has a large drop tank for fuel under the fuselage, and white registration "OY-SKA" on the rear fuselage. The tail has a large white circle containing a smaller blue circle, with a yellow bird standing in the centre with it's wings stretched out. Grey runway and taxiway fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees marking the airfield perimeter in the distance. There is a blue hangar on the right of the frame, with several fighter aircraft parked in front, some grey, some white and blue. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left. Flaps are extended behind the wings, and the rear of the engine cowling has moved rearwards, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting this plane is slowing down after landing. The plane has a white top and grey belly, with a deep blue stripe with yellow edging covering the nose and moving rearwards along the body. There are blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper centre fuselage, and a thick blue stripe with a yellow half ellipsoid containing a stylised blue flying bird on the tail. Large areas of green grass split by grey taxiways and runways fill the foreground, with the yellow rear of several signs sticking up out of the grass. A grey terminal building stretches across the background, under grey-blue skies.

The upturned wingtips are also blue, with diagonal yellow "RyanAir" titles. Greengrass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under cloudy blue skies. Low, Golden Hour sunlight covers the entire frame from the left.
