Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has blue "Air 2000" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a an abstract, multi-coloured stripe running along the body. The tail is mostly blue, with yellow, red, green, and white splotches seemingly arranged at random. Wet concrete in the foreground reflects the tail and the body stripe. There is another white, twin engined jet airliner with a red and black stripe running along the body and black "Flying Colours" titles on the upper forward fuselage in the background, with another plane with "Air 2000" titles beyond that. Trees in the distant run off to the horizon.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a gold and red stripe running along the body, overlaid with black "Sun Air" titles on the forward fuselage under the cockpit windows. The stripe is repeated on the sides of the engine cowlings. The tail is red, with a black letter "S" in the middle. The registration "OY-EDB" is on the side of the rear fuselage in black. Green grass fills the foreground, either side of a taxiway, with a grey terminal building stretching across most of the frame from the left. Tall, skeletal lighting towers reach into the sky, with grey clouds filling the rest of the frame.
