MI8

Rear view of a single-engined bi-plane light aircraft parked facing slightly to the right of the camera. The plane is largely white, with black, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes along the body forming a stylised image of the body of an eagle, with similarly coloured stripes on the top and bottom surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser suggesting wing feathers. There is small black text "Christen Eagle" on the upper rear fuselage, just aft of the large bubble canopy, and the black registration "G-GULZ" on the tail. Three men can be seen standing on the far side of the plane, between the cockpit and engine, with one of them seeming to show the other two something. Grey asphalt apron fills the foreground, with a large black hangar in the background, it's large door open on the right revealing some of the planes stored inside.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right on a black runway. There are spoilers raised on top of the wing, flaps extended from the rear of the wing, and the rear section of the engine cowling has moved backwards, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting the plane has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, with blue "Turkish Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a grey flower on the rear fuselage. The tail is red, with the outline of a white circle containing a white, stylised flying bird, a logo repeated on the up-turned wingtips. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the background.
