There is smaller golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" on the lower forward fuselage. A geometric pattern, mostly made up of triangles in shades of grey, brown, and white, fills the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, eventually meeting just in front of the tail, which is also covered in this design. The black registration "A6-ETD" is on a white part of the rear fuselage. The large engine pods under the wings are white, with , with a black and brown "F1" logo (a black, upper-case letter "F", on the left, a brown gradient on the right, and a number "1" in white negative space in the middle), and the black and brown text "2017 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" on the side.

Side view of a single-engined, high-winged, light aircraft parked facing to the right on short-mown grass. The plane is mostly white, with a red and green swirly stripe running along the body, the swooping up into the top of the tail and back down again, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. White support struts come from the side of the lower forward fuselage, stretching diagonally up and out towards a point about a quarter of the way along the wing. A rope dangles from a hook where the strut meets the wing, attached to a red traffic cone resting on the ground, acting as a weight in high winds. Short green grass fills the foreground, as well as much of the background, with a pair of light aircraft visible on the left of the frame, the nearest one white and blue with a white high wing, and the other silver, with a yellow and black checkerboard pattern on the rear of the tail, over laid with a red star. Trees in the far distance meet fluffs of white cloud that fill the top of the frame, with blue patches peeking through.
