Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner facing the right but being pushed back to the left by a low-slung blue and grey tug attached to the nosewheel.
The plane has a grey belly, with blue "CaribJet" titles running diagonally down the leading edge of the tail.
The registration V2-LEO is on the upper rear fuselage in black, and there are red "TriStar 500" on the centre engine intake.
2 men in hi-viz jackets are standing between the plane's nosewheel and the tug.
Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, as well as a large chunk of the background, partly separated by a grassed are on the left of the frame.
A pair of large, grey hangars dominate the background, with a pair of other planes parked in front - a grey and almost black twin propellor-engined airliner on the left, and a white twin engined jet airliner with a dark blue and yellow tail on the right.
It is obviously dusk, the whole scene being illuminated by bright lights, giving the whole image a slight yellow cast, with grey-blue sky visible between the hangars.

The viewer is looking up as the plan is flying overhead and landing. Interesting to note, that this is a hybrid livery. It says Court for Court Airlines, But its in an Eastern Livery.

Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by a low-slung white truck attached to the nosewheel.
The plane has a silver belly, and a pair of blue stripes running along the body, the top one sweeping up into the tail and getting wider, where it is joined by a smaller red stripe.
There are "AirTransat" titles on the upper forward fuselage in blue (the second "a" in "Transat" is in red), while the registration "C-FTNB" is at the base of the tail in white.
Wet concrete apron fills the foreground, reflecting the planes image off the rain-slicked surface.
The blue and white tail of another jet airliner is on the left of the frame, behind this planes nose, and a couple more planes, mostly white with yellow stripes along the body, but in completely different styles, further back n the background, behind a row of tall lighting poles.
Trees line the horizon under grim grey skies.
