Side view of a single-engined, high-winged, light aircraft parked facing to the right on short-mown grass. The plane is mostly white, with a red and green swirly stripe running along the body, the swooping up into the top of the tail and back down again, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. White support struts come from the side of the lower forward fuselage, stretching diagonally up and out towards a point about a quarter of the way along the wing. A rope dangles from a hook where the strut meets the wing, attached to a red traffic cone resting on the ground, acting as a weight in high winds. Short green grass fills the foreground, as well as much of the background, with a pair of light aircraft visible on the left of the frame, the nearest one white and blue with a white high wing, and the other silver, with a yellow and black checkerboard pattern on the rear of the tail, over laid with a red star. Trees in the far distance meet fluffs of white cloud that fill the top of the frame, with blue patches peeking through.

Side view of a white, 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 a red triangle in the black outline of a circle under the cockpit windows, over black text "FAI Air Ambulance" under the cabin door. There is the black web address "WWWDotFlightAmbulanceDotCom" above the passenger cabin windows, and the red text "Ambulance" on the sides of the white engine pods. The large black registration "D-CFAS" is on the white tail, under a small German flag. Tall, thin, white up-turned wing-tips stretch up from the ends of the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with loops of blurry, out-of-focus razor-wire almost but not quite getting in the way. More grass in the background leads up to an expanse of trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft, parked facing to the left and slightly away from the camera in the middle of a grass field. The plane is mostly white, with an orange/grey/orange stripe starting just aft of the propellor and swooping up over the rear fuselage, just aft of the rear cabin window, and the silvery-grey registration "G-IHXD" on the side of the rear fuselage. Close-cropped green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with slightly longer grass filling the top of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet flying from left too right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is an overall cream colour, with only the white registration "N7i00GF on the sides of the jet engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage creating any contrast. Cars sparked in the long-term car park below it are reflected in the underside of the planes left wing. In the background, hazy clouds at the bottom of the frame give way to blue sky with wisps of cloud at the top.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. The plane is almost entirely grey, with a dark grey stripe running a long the body, zig-zagging it's way along the front fuselage. There is the bright yellow registration "G-VYGL, and the 4 passenger doors on the side of the fuselage are outlined in the same yellow. A tall light pole is in the foreground, immediately in front of the forward fuselage, and reaching up out of the top of the frame. A metal grid fence is in front of the plane's nosecone, and a fuel truck is parked in front of the right-hand engine. Green grass lines taxiways in the foreground, with more jet airliners in the background on the left of the frame, and various vehicles and apron furniture parked on the right. More light poles stretch to the top of the frame in the distance, in front of masses of trees, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly dark blue, with a thick white stripe running along the bottom of the body, with a thinner white pinstripe running from the nose to the tail, under the cockpit, overlaid with the white registration "G-AWVA" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a white stripe near the top of the tail, with the word "Cessna" in black. Orange and white traffic cones are attached to the underside of support struts running from the bottom of the fuselage to the underside of the mid-point of the wings by a long blue rope, acting as weights in case of high winds. Green grass fills the foreground. A silver light aircraft is in the background, a blue cover over the cockpit area, with it's silver, yellow, and black tail towering over this plane. More grass in the background leads up to trees and bushes beyond that, with rolling hills meeting grey sky in the distance.

Low front view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered from sponsons on the lower fuselage, and flaps extended from below the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue-green tail with lime-green piping and a lime-green shamrock, and small, green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "G-CMJL" is on the lower rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. The 6-bladed propellors attached to the blue-green engine pods on the wings are almost blurred into smears, reflecting golden sunlight. Pale blue sky fill the rest of the frame, with wisps of white cloud in the lower left corner.
