B737

Rear side view of a red, 2 seat autogyro taxiing from right to left with the main rotor locked in place. It is basically a red fibreglass shell wrapped around a metal frame, with a pair of open tandem cockpits with large perspex windshields, with a motor bolted on the back powering a pusher propellor, and another metal frame sticking backwards out of the bottom carrying the red tail on an angular metal boom. An uncovered nosewheel sticks out of the bottom of the fuselage, with a pair of rear wheel on struts, partially covered with red sponsons stick out to the sides from under the engine. The silver registration is on the red tail right at the back.Several metal poles stick out from the engine, just above the rear cockpit, supporting and providing some control to the large, 2-bladed main rotor. Both cockpit seats are filled, with people wearing matching flying suits, with red arms and legs and black bodies, as well as white full-face helmets. Grey tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with 2 wings of an old, brown brick office building in the background, close enough to possibly be hit if the main rotor was spinning, with a white, high-winged, light aircraft parked between the wings.

Side view of a very blue, twin engined jet airliner acelerating along a black runway during it's take-off roll. The plane is in a metallic blue livery, with large white "ITA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over small white text "Airways", amd the white registration "EI-DTM" on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is the same blue, with green, white, and red bands representing the Italian flag running down the trailing edge and round the tail-cone. Green grass and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow stripe running along the lower body, and large yellow "Buzz" titles outlined in black on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated over a yellow stripe on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings. There is dark blue text "by RyanAir" under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "SP-RZD" just aft of a white and red Polish flag on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is bright yellow, with a large cartoon image of a bee, with a large upper-case letter "B" on it's black and yellow striped chest. Green grass fills the foreground, partially obscured by a stretched-out roll of razorwire on top. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side-view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just centimetres between the grass runway and the plane's wheels. The plane is largely white, with a blue and brown stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-TIFG" on the side of the rear fuselage. White spats cover all 3 wheels, with blue stripe running along each one2 people can be seen i the rather cramped, fully glazed cockpit. The plane is casting a strong shadow on the ground quite a way behind it, suggesting that the sun is about 3 quarters of the way up the left of the frame. Green grass fills the rest of the image.

Close up of the forward fuselage of a white, twin engined bi-plane airliner taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane has a grey belly and engines, with a green stripe running along the body and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The pilot is visible in the cockpit, with passengers sitting in the cabin, visible through the triangular windows. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with purple "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller, black registration "D-AEWR" just aft of small EU and German flags on the upper rear. Pale blue and purple swirls adorn the tail and tail cone, some connected by grey swirls. Bright sunlight reflects strongly off one of the open landing gear doors under the wing, suggesting that the sun is more or less behind the camera. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with purple fluffs of cloud.

There 2 thick, white, waving stripes on the tail, with a pale blue diagonal stripe running down the front of the tail and across the rear fuselage. Trees in the distance fill the bottom of the frame, with cloudy grey skies filling the top of the frame.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a glossy light blue with a white belly, the 2 colours separated by a dark blue stripe running along the body. There are white "KLM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with blue "KLM" titles on the sides of the white tail and white engine pods. The rear fuselage and the wing-tips are blurred and grainy, with blooms of colour along shiny surfaces and edges. Lush blue sky fills the background, with hints of cloud on the left of the frame.
