Low front view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered from sponsons on the lower fuselage, and flaps extended from below the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue-green tail with lime-green piping and a lime-green shamrock, and small, green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "G-CMJL" is on the lower rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. The 6-bladed propellors attached to the blue-green engine pods on the wings are almost blurred into smears, reflecting golden sunlight. Pale blue sky fill the rest of the frame, with wisps of white cloud in the lower left corner.

Low head-on view of a helicopter flying towards and over the camera. The aircraft is mostly white, with a blue belly and white undersides, with black text "National Grid" on the white underside. It is equipped with landing skids instead of wheels, and has a bright light shining in the nose, just above a black camera pod on a downward facing mounting. A high shutter speed means the 4-bladed main rotor appears frozen in place. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing across a grass field from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes on the body, resembling the body of an eagle, with the wings covered with similar coloured stripes resembling eagle wings. 2 people can be seen sitting in the tandem-seated cockpit, under a large bubble canopy. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer green grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a 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 mostly white, with a pale blue belly. There are light and dark blue, billboard-style, "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over a series of 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots, a logo repeated on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Larger, diagonal "FlyBe" titles fill the white tail and rear fuselage. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Rear side view of a white, large twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thick, very pale blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with green "Cathay Pacific" on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green band around the tail, with a thick, white brush stroke resembling a flying bird in the middle, a design repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit. An array of blue and white or yellow and white planes are lined up, facing in various directions in the background. Rows of trees stretch across the rear of the frame, marking the edge of the airfield, under grey skies.

Side view of a black, twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. There is a red stripe running along the body, sweeping under the rear fuselage, and another red stripe running diagonally up the tail. The red registration "G-BHEH" is on the side of the rear fuselage, partially obscured by the horizontal stabiliser. Green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees and bushes leading off into the distance, eventually getting swallowed up in hazy grey cloud that fills the top of the frame.

A rather weather-beaten and rusty lump of metal that has been left on grass, ostensibly to rot. Vaguely resembling a light aircraft designed by someone who had only heard a description of an aeroplane, there is a place in the nose for an piston engine, with a cockpit just after that, and what appears to be a single vestigial jet engine on the top rear of the fuselage. The whole thing is covered in rust except where it has been burned, mostly around the nose and the wings. It is surrounded by grass, with a red plastic barrier lying on the ground beside it, and a green metal fence off to one side of the background, with bushes beyond that. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.
