D-ALAP (fake registration, actually D-ALEM), Lockheed 1049G Super Constellation, in Lufthansa's 1950's livery, at Munich Strauss, 30th September 1996.

Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.

Side view of a long, thin, pointy supersonic jet airliner, parked facing to the left, arranged at an angle to fit the whole thing into the frame. The plane is mostly white, with a thick red stripe running along the fuselage above the wing. There are "Concorde" titles just aft of the cockpit window but in fromnt of the forward door, and "British Aircraft Corporation - Aerospatiale France" titles on the upper fuselage over the wing. The tail is white, with a thick blue stripe running along the middle. The undercarriage is long and spindly, to give the square engine pods under the wings plenty of clearance, especially the nose gear. There is a set of stairs on the other side of the plane, leading up in to the cabin behind is a large white hangar with wide blue doors, under a pale blue sky.

Low side view of a pair of twin engined jet fighters flying from right to left, angled slighty away from the camera. The planes are a deep blue, with yellow trim, and large yellow "US NAVY" titles under each wing, as well as on the sides of the engine intakes. There are additional yellow "Blue Angels" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The plane nearest the camera has a large yellow "6" on the tail, the one further away has a "5" in the same location. Behind, the sky is a flat white.

Front view of a 4 propellor engined airliner on display in an outdoor museum, facing slightly off to the right of the camera. the plane has white upper surfaces and a silver belly, with a thick blue stripe running along the cody, covering the passenger cabin windows, seperating the white and silver sections. There are dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings. The planes 3 tails, one of the fuselage and one on each end of the horizontal tailplane, have black leading edges, the rest being white with a thick yellow and blue stripe, with a blue stylised flying bird in the middle. There is a set of light blue airstairs attached to the forward left door. There is a row of flags behind the left wing. In the background, a long terminal building stretches across almost the entire frame, under a pale blue sky with patches of fluff.
