A painted pinball backglass in a chunky white wooden frame, dominated by a hot-air-balloon motif and a futuristic air-travel scene. Across the upper third sits a white cloud-shaped cartouche outlined in red and black, containing six mechanical score reels reading 1,5 1 1,7 0 0. Above and behind it the background is a deep blue sky with a broad orange/yellow swirl sweeping in from the top right. A large striped balloon canopy in red, orange, yellow and white arcs fills the upper middle, with a white star-and-stripe striped aerostat/envelope shape above it. The main title SUPERSONIC runs in an arc across the centre in heavy yellow sans-serif capitals with a red drop shadow, on a dark navy scroll banner with curled ends; to its left a small blue oval cartouche holds white stars. Below, a green field with a white-and-red striped tower and a white futuristic terminal building with a red-and-white checkered column and glazed blue windows occupy the lower band, alongside a red-and-white striped airship, a small red car, and tiny ground vehicles. Style is flat, brightly saturated, hand-painted airbrush-style illustration with heavy black outlines. No figures or people appear.
