Canadair

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era fighter-bomber accelerating from right to left along a grey tarmac runway, with it's tail wheel raised off the ground, suggesting it is taking off. The plane has a grey and olive green camouflage scheme on the upper body and upper wing surfaces, with grey belly and undersides of the wings. There are 3 white and 2 black bands under the lower rear fuselage. The pale mint green letters "E-HT" are either side of a blue, white, and red roundel, outlined in yellow, on the rear fuselage, with the black serial "RR299" just after, under a red, white, and blue fin-flash on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees on small hills in the background.

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 single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a large bubble canopy over the canopy, and a purple stripe running along the body, outlined in dark blue. A similar stripe adorns the top of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, as well as most of the background, with trees in the distance. A grey and white light aircraft is parked on the left of the frame. Bright but hazy skies fill the top of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left as it turns on to a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with grey "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with additional "Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage. Smaller "Scandinavian" titles are on the sides of the white engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail. The blue registration "EC-MLC" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Spanish flag, which itself is just aft of a stylised golden crown. On the upper rear fuselage, there is a 9*3 grid of coloured dots, representing the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the 3 countries for whom SAS is the nominal flag carrier. Slightly yellowing grass fills the foreground, along the side of the runway, while grey hangars are visible over the top of the plane in the background, under blue skies.

The plane has a red and grey stripe running along the body, and the black registration "G-CIRZ" on the tapered rear fuselage. 2 men can been seen in the cockpit through the large windows. Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a green stripe starting in the middle of the upper fuselage, running forward along the top of the body, down under the cockpit windows, then back along the lower body, and up into the tail, and the green registration "D-AJOY" on the tail-cone, partially obscured by one of the engines on the rear fuselage. A grey taxiway fills the foreground, with a patch of green grass in the bottom right corner, and more grass in the background, leading up to several jet airliners partially obscured by jelly pouring out of the rear of the planes engines. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
