Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. The plane is almost entirely white, with red "Tarom" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the black registration "YR-TPG" on the centre engine inlet, and the outline of a red circle with a stylised red flying bird in the middle. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large grassed area on the left, with more grass lining the sides of a black runway in the background, with a wide black hangar with blue support beams stretching across the frame in the distance with a green and white fuel bowser parked in front, and several planes visible inside through the wide open doors. Trees in the distance on the left and slightly orange tinged sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Sabena" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the forward door outlined in red. There are brown, red, and yellow diagonal stripes on the rear fuselage, appearing in reverse order at the top of the tail and along the top of the engine cowlings over the wings. The black registration "OE-LEC" is on the rear fuselage, next to a small Austrian flag. A small orange car is on the left of the foreground, with an orange light on it's roof. Another plane, this one white with a black rampant lion on the tail, is n the background on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.
