Slightly grainy side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The planes body is all white, with black "Philippines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and blue, white, and red triangles on the tail overlaid with a yellow sun-burst. A similar logo appears on the up-turned wing-tips. The top of a brown building stretches across the bottom of the frame, with cream-coloured buildings in the distance, with trees beyond that, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on yellowing grass, right on the edge of a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up the front of the tail. The registration "G-BPJD" is on the upper rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Another couple of planes are parked around it, as well as a couple of wooden buildings on the right. A long bridge reaches over the horizon on the left, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.
