Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely white, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the side of the upper forward fuselage, obscured by the large wing, with gold Arabic calligraphy on the up-turned wingtips and the sides of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "A6-EDQ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. A modified, waving version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates fills the white tail, with a diagonal green, white, and black stripe, with a red diagonal band wrapping around the leading edge of the tail and the side of the rear fuselage. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.

Side view of a delta-winged, 4 engined military bomber aircraft parked facing to the right. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the nose, under the bump that is the cockpit, with another roundel on top of the right wing. The black serial "XM603" is on the power part of the tail, under a blue, white, and red fin flash, with red "Avro Vulcan" titles towards the top of the tail. There are people clustered under the belly of the plane, with another group of people under the tail, looking up at the engine exhausts, coming out of the rear of the wings, next to the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with fluffy grey clouds filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner on a black runway, moving slowly from right to left, slight puffs of steam rising from the runway behind it suggesting it is accelerating for take-off. The plane is mostly white, with thin gold and red pinstripes running along the body, and large gold "Etihad" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, in English, with smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further forward. Additional golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" just above the gold and red strip on the forward fuselage. The tail has a golden bird with wings partially extended, and a circular version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates on the chest, in the middle. There is a large text area on the upper rear fuselage advertising the Abu Dhabi Formula Grand Prix on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "wwwDotEtihadAirwaysDotCom" in gold on the lower rear, and the black registration "A6-ETJ" under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large terminal building in the background on the right, and a grey hangar in the background on the left. Rolling blue-grey cloud fills the top of the frame, with light blue patches of clear sky in places. Gorgeous golden light washes across the frame from the lower right, especially on the plane's body.

The plane is mostly white, with a thin blue and red pin-stripe running along the body, blue "Bin Air" titles on the nose under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "D-CAVA" on the side of the rear fuselage, just aft of a small German flag. The white tail has the blue letters "BA" above the horizontal stabiliser. Grass in the background leads up to a black runway that runs from one side of the frame to the other, with more grass on the far side leading up to trees in the distance, with rolling hills beyond that, under rolling, cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with fixed undercarriage under the fuselage, flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is silver on top, and a creamy white on the bottom, the two colours separated by a thin red pin-stripe. The red registration is on the side of the rear fuselage, while the text "G115" is on the upper engine cowling in the plane's nose. The registration is repeated in a larger form under the left wing. Flat white sky fills the background.
