Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a white fuselage and brey belly, with a series of black, yellow, orange, and red diagonal stripes arranged to form a triangle on the forward fuselage, a design repeated on the tail. Black "Jersey European" titles are on the lower fuselage, centred under the wings. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with green grass and brown fields visible under the plane in the distance, under grey sky.

Close-up of the nose of a white, 4 engined jet airliner on display outside a museum, parked facing to the left. The plane is almost all white, with blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage. A small plaque on the ground gives some information about this exhibit, but only a picture of it in flight is discernible here. A set of white airstairs is connected to the forward door on the opposite side. A white building stretches across the background, with a pair of military jet trainer aircraft almost appearing to burst out of the roof on the left of the frame. Pale blue sky completes the image.
