Four passes on the house. A pass paints it twice: the upright and the wide. Your photograph goes to the engine twice, once per shape, and is not kept.

The sample aircraft belong to nobody: they were made up to sit for the wall, and their numbers are not assigned on the FAA register. Their paintings are finished pictures all the same, and they print to 40 × 60″.
