DLD 495: Shifting borders in air world

The sky has a gradient of colors, transitioning from light blue at the top to a soft pinkish hue near the horizon, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below the wing, there are some clouds. The window frame of the airplane is also visible, framing the view.

A blue and white propeller airplane with the word "Connect" written on its side is parked on an airport tarmac. The tail of the plane features a yellow circle with a blue design. In the background, there are large, arched hangars and a fuel truck. Two airport personnel in high-visibility vests are standing near the front of the plane. The sky is clear with some light clouds. The image is credited to @WandrMe and PaxEx.Aero.
