Side view of a white, single-engined, high-winged light aircraft flying from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings with the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. A mauve and grey stripe runs along the body from the nose, getting slightly wider as it moves towards the rear, overlaid with the registration "G-GOOS" in mauve on the rear fuselage. An additional grey stripe runs along the top of the rear cockpit and the base of the tail. A similar but inverted stripe runs along the spats covering the fixed undercarriage. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and slightly towards the camera. The plane has a grey belly, with a a blue stripe outlined in yellow running along the body from around the nose, with blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper fuselage over the wing root. The tail is white, with a thick blue strip towards the top containing a yellow ellipse that itself contains an image of a stylised blue flying bird. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more patches of grass visible under the plane marking the edges of the runway and taxiways in the background. Trees line the skyline in the distance, with grey skies filling the rest of the frame.
