Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with a blue-green rear fuselage and tail with a lime-green band separating the 2 sections. There are blue-green "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage next to a lime-green shamrock, a logo that also appears on the tail. The upturned wingtips are the same blue-green as the tail. Concrete apron fills the foreground, with green grass in the background leads up to a green fire-training rig in the background, with trees and a mist-laden hill in the distance, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with a dark blue belly and yellow piping, flying from left to right at a low altitude, with it's undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. Blue "RyanAir" titles adorn the upper fuselage, next to a blue image of an Irish harp, a yellow version of said harp appearing on the blue tail. The engine pods slung under the wings also have white tops, blue bottoms, and a yellow stripe running from front to back. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white and blue, twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway. There is a red winky face on the tail that appears to be made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I", if you squint a bit, and red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The rear cowling on the engine pods has moved backwards to activate the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps under the rear of the wings and the deployed spoilers on top of the wing, suggest that the plane is decelerating after landing. Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, some of the bushes partially obscuring the planes lower forward fuselage, with trees and grass in the background, under grey-blue skies.

View from almost directly underneath of a slightly grimy, white, twin engined jet airliner flying overhead from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage tucked away and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it has just taken off. The golden outlines of feathers can be seen under the forward fuselage and the engines, and the registration "G-EUPA" can be seen on the lower rear fuselage and the underside of the left wing. Grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
