Each airframe is rendered as an elevated rear-quarter view on the aircraft's left side to expose as much of its coloration as possible. Each render is of a 3D model that has been customized to match the real aircraft's physical appearance including door & window counts, engine-matching nacelle shapes, navigation lights and the placement of antennas. Floating labels identify each airframe's manufacturer serial number, the latest known model designation, latest registration and year of depiction. An accompanying short caption reveals the history of the subject air carrier. A companion piece offers a legend referencing history-laden captions for each aircraft depicted.
