Side view of a light helicopter hovering just a couple of metres above a grass runway. The chopper is a deep blue, with a gold stripe running along the body, and the gold registration "G-OJGC" on the long tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground and large parts of the background, with bushes and tyres in the distance marking the airfield perimeter, under grey-blue sky.

Rear side view of a long and thin, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right and slightly away from the camera. The plane is mostly white, with a red, orange, and yellow stripe coming down from the top of the forward fuselage and then streaming to the rear. There are white "Cargo Ibera" titles on the red and orange part of the stripe, and the black registration "EI-EMD" on the lower rear fuselage, next to a Spanish flag. The tail is white, with large letters, a red lowercase "I" with a gold crown on the top part and a large, yellow, upper case "B", in the middle, and the black registration "EC-EMD" repeated at the top. Grey concrete taxiway fills the foreground, with blue and grey car following a roadway marked out on the apron. A long and thin, twin engined white jet airliner with a blue and green tail is parked facing to the left in the background, with a long, brown, white, and red building stretching across the frame behind it. Trees meet hazy grey sky in the distance.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles running along the body, repeated along the planes underside, with red engine pods slung under the wings, and red rear fuselage and tail. There is seemingly hand-written white "Virgin" titles on the tail. Grey cloud fills the rest of the frame.
