Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land.
The plane has a white fuselage, with blue "Air Serbia" titles on the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows.
These titles are repeated in red under the fuselage,
under the fairings where the wings meet the body.
The registration "YU-APF" is on the upper rear fuselage in black, repeated under the outer pane of the left wing.
The tail is red at the top and dark blue at the bottom, with an elaborate white outline of a 2 headed eagle with outstretched wings, the middle section coloured light blue.
The engine pods under the wings are red on top and white at the bottom, with a dark blue stripe swooping from the lower front to the upper rear.
Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Somewhat grainy side view of a white, twin engined BizJet taxiing along a taxiway from right to left.
The plane is almost entirely white, with a double, thin blue stripe running along the body, and a thick red strip containing a white cross on the tail.
The registration "HB-0VJJ" is under this, in blue.
Over-sized wingtip fuel tanks cover a large part of the lower body.

On my #avgeek bicycle ride at PDX, I had to stop and get video when I saw the British Airways 787-9 Dreamliner taxiing for departure to London Heathrow #LHR / #EGLL. I was on my bicycle in the bike lane across the driveway at the east end of Concourse E when I got this. On Friday, I posted (earlier in this thread) video from the levee of one of these landing. #KPDX #aviation #cycling #Portland #PNW
