Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There are gold "Emirates" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in Arabic at the front, and in English a bit further back. The glyphs used in the Arabic title text are combined into an artistic image in gold on the white engine pods. The tail and rear fuselage has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (equal green, white, and black horizontal bars, with a red vertical bar at the end) emblazoned across it. The registration "A6-EKF" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. The foreground is filled with the grey roof of a building, out of focus as it is much nearer than the plane. In the background, a collection of brown service buildings and black hangars are nestled amongst trees, under bright but hazy skies.

    Tails Tuesday 26th November 2024.
Close-up of the blue tail of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a creamy-grey belly, with a thin gold line running along the body. The tail has a gold and white wire-frame globe in one corner. The planes left wing stretches across the frame in the foreground, with the left engine pod in the bottom left corner. A heavily glazed red brick building is hiding behind some yellow metal frames in the background, with black hangars beyond that, under cloudy grey skies.

    Tails Tuesday 2 26th November 2024.
Close-up of the green tail and white rear fuselage of a very large jet airliner taxiing from right to left. There are 2 thick white stripes running across the tail, and a green stripe running along the body. The registration "B-HUA" is on the rear fuselage in white. A grey metal fence and a black chainlink fence separate us from the plane in the foreground, with a grassed area leading off to trees visible in the background under the tail. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
