Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military transport aircraft taxiing from right to left. The plane is covered in a green and grey camouflage scheme. There are faint "Canada" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the number "307" on the nose. There is a black Canadian flag on the tail, above the number "130307". The red and white tips of the spinning propellors make distinct arcs as they turn. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more apron at the rear, with parked luggage carts and other moveable airport furniture scattered around. Brown buildings are clustered together beyond that, with trees at the back under grey skies.
