Vertically-oriented close-up of the blue tail of a white jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The black registration "SE-DTA" is on the upper rear of the fuselage, just below the tail. There is a circle of golden stars in the middle of the tail, wrapped around the white upper-case letters "EBA". A brown building with large glass windows stretches across the background, with a view across the airfield beyond that.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked on tarmac facing to the right. The plane is a almost entirely blue, with a double gold stripe running along the body from the nose, as well as along the engine cowlings, just below the wings, and on the spats over the fixed undercarriage, suspended below the engine cowlings. A large bubble canopy covers the tandem 2-seat cockpit with a person wearing a grey jacket visible through the canopy, standing by the white plane on the far side. A military green helicopter and a large, twin engined bi-plane are visible in the background on the right, with a black hangar across the far side of the runway on the left, all under hazy grey sky.
