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.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propeller-engined airliner parked facing to the left with a green portable generator parked in front of the rear door. The plane has a blue stripe, outlines with thin red stripes, running along the body, getting wider as it sweeps up into the tail, and the registration "SP-TXB" on the rear fuselage. The white tail has the Polish flag (white field at the top with an equal red field at the bottom) in the middle, the white portion of the flag outlined with a fine red line. Yellowing grass fills the foreground, while the background has a similar sized, white, low-winged, twin propeller-engined airliner on the right, and a much bigger white jet airliner with the engines in square pods under the rear of the wings and a massive dark blue, red, and white tail, on the left. Thin white clouds with patches of pale blue poking through fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined BizJet parked facing to the right. There is a black, silver, and gold stripe running along the planes body from the nose, partially covering the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage as they sweep up in to the lower parts of the tail. The registration "N866BB" is dissplayed prominently on the tail in brown. The words "Driven to new highs" have been painted under the cockpit windows. A couple of other, similar sized planes can be seen in the background on the right, while a low building with several red and blue arrowheads emblazoned on it is on the left. Grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
