Side view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from left to right by a low-slung white tug with a yellow stripe along the body, which has clasped and raised the plane's nosewheel in order to move it around. The plane has a white upper body, with a grey belly, and a dark blue stripe running covering the passenger cabin windows. There are dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the dark blue outline of a circle containing a stylised blue bird under the cockpit windows. The white registration "D-AICB" is on the blue stripe at the rear of the fuselage, with black text "Airbus A310" on the lower rear body. The tail is dark blue, with a yellow circle containing a stylised blue flying bird, similar to the logo under the cockpit. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grey buildings and white planes with blue and yellow tails filling the background under grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and red "Austrian" titles on the lower forward fuselage, with a red arrowhead just below and aft of the cockpit. There are a pair of thick red stripes at the top of the white tail, with a stylised red upper-case letter "R" at the base. A pale brown building stretches across the background, with a white jet airliner with a blue and yellow tail just taxiing out of frame at the top right. Large, green, 4 engined military cargo planes are clustered around a cream coloured hangar in the distance, slowly vanishing in to haze.
