Chieftan

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined BizProp rotating as it takes off, moving from right to left with it's nose-wheel lifted off the ground and main wheels just lifting. There is a thin gold and blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail and getting wider, the gold stripe wrapping over the top of the body, the blue stripe forming the front of the tail. Ther registration "G-LYDF" is on the lower part of the tail, reflecting low but strong sunlight. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit side window, but the dark cabin doesn't reveal any passengers. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass leading up to a large grey hangar on the right, and the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner with blue and red "Avro RJX" titles on the side on the left of the frame. Leafless trees and grey sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
