Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude. The undercarriage has been tucked away, flaps have been extended from behind the wings, and the nose is raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with the nose and forward fuselage being red, with a thin blue band separating that from the white. The white web address "norwegian.com" is on the lower section of the red forward fuselage. The tail has a thick red and thin blue stripe at the top, with a black and white image of a man filling most of the rest, overlaid with the white text "Piet Hein". Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller "Hop" titles underneath. The black registration "F-HBLZ" is on the upper rear fuselage, while the last 2 letters "LZ" are on the open nose-wheel doors. 3 diagonal blue stripes are on the tail, getting narrower the further back they are, with a fourth, red stripe at the back, the same width as that at the front. Grey concrete apron and black concrete taxiway fill the foreground, with grass, taxiways, and a runway in the background, leading up to trees in the distance, under grey skies.
