Runway24

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style "Star Alliance" titles on the side of the fuselage, running the length of the body. The engine pods on the rear fuselage are blue, with white registration "OH-BLP" next to a small Finnish flag on the side, with a black square with white text "15 years" on the upper rear fuselage just in front. The black tail has a circle of 5 white and grey arrowheads pointing in different directions.

A black helicopter hovering several metres above the ground. There are very few markings, the silver registration "N520EA" on the engine pod on top of the fuselage, and the white text "MD520N" at the top of the twin tails at the end of the long tail boom. Mown grass flies in the air being forced down by the large rotor blades. Several white light aircraft can be seen in the background at the bottom of the frame, a background dominated by a brown brick control tower with a heavily glazed white top floor, where a man standing on a balcony is taking of photo of the helicopter. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under blue skies.
