Side view of a high-winged, white, 4-engined jet airliner facing to the right but being pushed back to the left by an off-screen tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a blue and red stripe running along the body, slowly getting wider as it moves rearwards, before sweeping up to fill the tail. There are blue "Dan Air London" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and a white circle containing a white and blue compass pointer in front of a flag pole bearing a flag with vertical red and white bands. The registration "G-BKHT" is on the upper rear fuselage in dark blue. A red and white truck is parked in front of the nose of the plane. Grey concrete apron fills the rest of the screen, with white lines marking out a roadway for airport vehicles, with a fuel pump in the background following the road to the top left of the screen.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. There are blue "CrossAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the registration "HB-IZF" in black on a fillet in front of the tail, with a small Swiss flag next to it.. There are coloured blobs on the forward fuselage - a very small red on next to a blue one, while on the rear fuselage, a larger blue blob has a slightly smaller red blob overlaid on top. A similar design exists on the tail, a large blue blob overlaid with a red quadrilateral with a large white cross in the middle. Green grass and a grey taxiway fill the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees and houses in the distance., under grim grey skies.
