Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with thick yellow, red and brown stripes on the lower rear fuselage, angled up to the lower part of the tail, with a reflected version of this stripe on the upper part of the tail, as well as on the upper forward sections of the engine pods. There are small, black, "Tyrolean" titles on the forward fuselage, under the cockpit windows, with a larger version on the white portion of the tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with bands of green grass bordering runways in the distance. A white airport truck can be seen in the background on the left, following a roadway marked out with white lines on a taxiway.
