A330

Front side view of a microlight aircraft parked on grass, facing to the right, with its left wingtip resting on the ground. What little fuselage there is, is a metal frame covered in a carbon fibre shell, with a pair of tandem seats in an open cockpit on top, with a small engine driving a pusher propellor immediately behind, suspended under a large, triangular parasol wing. A small nosewheel is embedded in the forward shell, with main gear covered in yellow spats are on the end of outriggers attached just in front of the engine. The carbon fibre shell is bright yellow, with the wing being mostly yellow, and blue leading edges and cream trailing edge. The black registration "G-MTMW" is on the underside of the left side of the wing. Green grass fills most of the bottom of the frame, with another microlight with a yellow and purple wing on the right of the background, and a single engined light aircraft taxiing away from the camera on the left. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is covered in wavy black and white stripes, looking vaguely like a zebra would if it had wings. Bright green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees in the distance under blue skies. The tail of another light aircraft can be seen in the background on the left, silver at the front and a black and yellow checkerboard pattern at the rear, overlaid with a red star outlined in yellow, and the black letters "FA" under the horizontal stabiliser.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe swooping from under the lower forward fuselage and over the wing, with the yellow descending back under the rear fuselage, while the red takes over the rear fuselage and tail, with additional yellow swirls at the top and on the tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward if the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-304K" is on the upper rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron and black tarmac taxiway fill the foreground, with trees stretching across the background under hazy grey sky. In the middle of the background, a green fire training rig, vaguely resembling a 3-engined Boeing 747, is sitting there looking a bit sorry for itself.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner parked on a runway facing to the left, it's propellors blurred as they spin. The plane has red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, followed by black text "Scotlands Airline". The registration "G-LGNT" is on the upper rear fuselage, in black. The tail is covered in a red, black, and white tartan pattern. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a large grey building in the distance. Pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud fill the rest of the frame

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with multi-coloured "Small Planet" titles along the fuselage, successive letters in red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. The black registration "LY-SPE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted under the wings are a deep blue, with white "SmallPlanet.Aero" text. The tail is dark blue, with a stylised multi-coloured globe and yellow stars. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with tall green trees in the distance behind the plane on either side, under blue sky with smears of cloud.
