Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right.
The plane is mostly white, with a thick blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, as well as  over the engines mounted on the sides of the fuselage.
There are also large, blue "LOT" titles on the forward fuselage, with smaller blue Polish titles that translate into English as "Polish Air Lines".
The tail is the same dark blue, with a white circle containing a stylised image of a blue flying bird.
Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with green grass bordering taxiways and a runway in the background leading up to a red and grey hangar next to a blue and grey hangar, both with planes parked in front, under bright but hazy sky.
