Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right along a runway, with thrust reversers deployed in the sides of the engines, suggesting it is rapidly slowing down after landing. The plane is mostly white, with green-blue "Orbest" titles on the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows. The engine pods under the wings have an abstract, geometric pattern in shades of blue and purple. The rear fuselage and tail is mostly white, with wavy purple, green-blue, and lilac sections. The black registration "CS-TRM" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Portugese flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leads up to trees on the airfield perimeter in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right in the middle of a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey paint job, with twisted red and yellow ribbons running along the body, along with rows of silvery oblongs, and up into the tail. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. Metallic grey spats with more twisted yellow and red ribbons cover the wheels on the undercarriage. The cockpit doors on either side are open, hinged upwards and forwards, giving access to the 4 seat cabin. Green grass fills the foreground, with more light aircraft parked, mostly facing to the right, in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airfield perimeter, with pylons holding powerlines marching across the frame beyond, under blue skies.

The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin grey stripes starting from the engine cowling, running backwards and getting wider as it moves rearwards, under a single, thin red stripe, with a similar design on the spats over the undercarriage. The text "Piper Archer II" is on the upper rear fuselage, just behind the cockpit, followed by a block of text in an Arabic script, and a small Palestinian flag with the words "Free Palestine" across the middle in white and black text. Larger grey and red diagonal bands can be seen on the white tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with several light aircraft parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees meeting grey sky in the distance.
