Low side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly light grey, with large, black, billboard-style "CargoLux" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and a red and blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up into the tail. The black registration "LX-VCA" is on the lower rear fuselage, with the last three letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame, with the tops of some trees visible at the bottom.
