Front-side view of a single engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the right. The plane is in a metallic grey livery, with a series of short, silver stripes running along the body, with yellow and red ribbons intertwined with and spinning through them. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the lower rear fuselage. The cockpit door on the other side is open, hinged forwards and upwards. The foreground is filled with short green brass, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance. Several planes are visible in the background, mostly a bright yellow plane on the right, with various wings and tails coming in to view. Several people wearing yellow hi-viz vests are scattered around the airfield, acting as marshallers for all the visitors.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked facing to the right. The plane is covered in a 3-tone sandy brown camouflage scheme, with low-visibility markings in all the usual places in the fuselage, only a green pennant with white text in an Arabic script on the tail providing any contrast. A black chain-link fence topped with barbed wire stretches across the foreground, with a wide strip of grass behind it leading up to the apron area. A large terminal building fills most of the background, with a tall, glass-topped control tower in the background. The tails of several jet airliners can be seen in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Slightly grainy side view of a cream coloured, twin propellor-engined light aircraft flying from left to right at a low altitude, with the landing gear extended, flaps deployed from the rear of the wing, and the nose down slightly, suggesting it is about to land. There is a thin yellow, orange, and brown stripe running along the body from the nose, sweeping up into the tail as it gets wider towards the rear, with a similar stripe running along the engine cowlings. The registration "G-0LORD" is on the lower rear fuselage in brown. Slightly hazy blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

A large expanse of grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the taxiway, with more grass divided by more taxiways and a runway in the background. Dark green trees meet rather dramatic cloudy sky in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, following a yellow line marked on a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with blue "FInnAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage. A 3-tone blue diagonal band runs under the forward fuselage under the first few letters of the airline name. A blue circle under the cockpit windows has a stylised white letter "F" with a very long tail. Black tarmac taxiway snakes it's way through the background, with large areas of concrete apron for parked planes, and islands of grass lined with grey concrete stretching off into the distance. A blue and white jet airliner is parked in the top right corner, it's nose and upper fuselage not quite fitting into the frame.
