Side view of a twin engined jet airliner touching down on a grey runway, the rear halves of the engines slid back exposing the thrust reversers, and the nose-wheel kicking up a bit of dust as it connects with the surface, all suggesting that this plane is just landing. The plane is white on top with a grey belly. A pair of red lines run above and below the passenger cabin windows, joining at the front under the cockpit, and at the rear under the tail. The windows have each been painted to give them a crenelated appearance, as if they are windows in a castle. There are red "Air India" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a waving Indian flag, and the red registration "VT-EJK" on the lower rear fuselage. A heavily stylised red bird, looking more like a slightly warped triangle than anything else, adorns the tail, with diagonal Sanskrit titles that trans-literate into English as "Air India" running diagonally down the leading edge. Green grass crossed with grey concrete taxiway fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading off to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.
