Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a reddish-grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with red "LoganAir" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-SAJF" on the lower rear, just below and forward of the red engine pods. The tail is covered in a black, red, and white tartan pattern. Green grass fills the foreground, with some out-of-focus rolls of razor wire at the bottom of the frame. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a metallic blue small helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, facing to the right. There is a light blue lightning flash on the lower fuselage and door, with silver "R22"text on the upper rear fuselage, above smaller "Beta II" text. The silver registration "G-HIZZ" is at the front of the tail boom, just as it comes out of the fuselage, above the partially exposed engine. The black and white striped tail rotor is on the left side at the rear of the tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground, with several planes parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance, under blue sky with smatterings of thin white cloud.

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 high-winged, twin engined jet airliner lined up waiting for take off on a grey runway. The plane is largely white with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A twisted, red and blue ribbon is on the upper forward fuselage, immediately aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "OY-NCL" is on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with rippling red stripes either side of a rippling dark blue triangle in the middle. The horizontal stabiliser, mounted at the top of the tail, is casting it's own shadow on the top and front of the tail, which suggests that the sun is up in the top left corner somewhere. Green grass fills the foreground, lining both sides of the runway. Trees in the distance meet grey clouds and blue 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 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.

Low front view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on gravel. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a thick stripe that used to be dark blue but is now faded to dark green running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are red and white letters "BEA" on the upper forward fuselage, and a partial UK flag on the now-green tail. The underside of the wings is red. A long yellow pushback pole is attached to the nosewheel. White airstairs are attached to the front and rear cabin doors on the far side of the plane. Trees fill the background on the left of the frame, with a rather square and boxy green metal frame taking up most of the rest of the background, and the grey tail of another plane on the right, all under gorgeous blue sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings. There are large, billboard-style, dark blue "Icelandair" titles on the forward fuselage, with dark blue engine pods in front of and below the wings, and a dark blue tail and rear fuselage. 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.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.
