Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left. The planes upper surfaces are a metallic, silvery-grey, with white lower surfaces, and red piping. The registration "G-BOPT" is on the rear fuselage in red. The tail is white, with a grey leading edge, and a red beacon on the top. A large grass airfield fills the background, leading up to trees in the distance, with a couple of other light aircraft parked on the grass. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

High side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left across a saturated section of airport apron. The plane is largely white, with a lilac section in the middle, over the wing root, and blue at the rear, both with swirly white piping, and grey and blue "Blue 1" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Smaller, white and grey "Blue1" titles are on the blue tail, and the white registration "OH-BLQ" is on the side of the engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, next to a small Finnish flag. The plane is reflected in puddles on the rather wet apron in the foreground, which suggests it has recently been raining, if it is not still doing so, with more wet apron filling the background.

View from below of a twin engined jet airliner flying a long way overhead, leaving trails of condensation from behind it's engines. The plane has a white belly, with hints of blue on the upper forward fuselage. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Frankfurt Friday 23rd January 2026.

Front side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on it's gate almost directly below the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a series of diagonal blue stripes on the tail. The forward cargo hold door in the lower forward fuselage is open, with a loading belt raised to it, with a couple of metal containers rolling into the plane's belly, overseen by a person wearing blue overalls. A white truck with black "Lufthansa Service" text on the side is parked between the loading belt and the engine. A pale blue airbridge is attached to the forward door on the other side of the plane, reaching out of frame on the right. A large expanse of apron fills the background, with rows of planes parked by tall lighting towers on the right of the frame, and more planes parked facing a black terminal building on the left, under bright but hazy sky.

Slightly grainy side view of a 3 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage almost finished retracting, flaps extended from the front and rear of the wing, and the nose raised a bit, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Air Moldova" titles on the upper forward fuselage, followed by red "International" titles. The black registration "ER-42409" is on the side of the centre engine intake, just in front of the tail and above the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. The tail has a stylised image of a bird, drawn as a single red line, turning to white where it is overlaid on a red circle. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
