Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Malev" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller "Hungarian Airlines" titles and a small Hungarian flag just aft of that. There are small "TU-154" titles on the lower forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. The tail and rear fuselage is dark blue, with green, white, and red diagonal stripes on the tail, vaguely resembling an upper-case letter "M", but actually representing the Hungarian flag. The engine pods are white, with the registration "HA-LCR" on the side-mounted engines in black. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees and bushes in the distance, under grey skies.

Almost head-on, vertically-oriented front view of a bright red helicopter parked facing slightly off to the right of the camera. The helo has an extensively glazed cockpit and passenger cabin, with all the bodywork painted red except for the top of the nose cone directly in front of the pilots, and a circular white logo on the nose. The white upper-case letters "XD" are on the top of the red cowling around the rotor mast . Grey concrete apron fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with green grass leading off to houses in the distance, under hazy sky.
