EGCB – MancAvGeek

Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and blue "Sun Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "TC-SNT" is on the lower rear fuselage, below the rearmost passenger cabin windows, with a small Turkish flag just above those windows. A circular, blue sunburst design with an orange band across the middle is on the plane's nose, below the cockpit windows, replicated in a larger form on the tail and rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are white on top and blue on the bottom, with an orange stripe across the middle, and white text "SunExpress.com" along the bottom half, while the up-and-down-turned wing-tips are blue, with orange tips on the upper section. Grey concretes apron fills the foreground, with white and yellow markings for aircraft to follow, as well as roadways marked for ground vehicles. More apron fills the background, with a strip of grass separating 2 different areas, with several planes parked against a grey building in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane.

Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.
