Side view of a military single engined jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a black runway. The plane is in an olive green camouflage, with the white registration "OY-SKA" on the side of the rear fuselage, and a white, blue, and yellow crest on the tail. The plane has a tandem 2 seat cockpit, one pilot sitting behind and above the other. A black taxiway fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft moving at high speed from right to left along a grass runway, it's tail wheel lifted off the ground and the rest of the body more or less level, suggesting it is in the middle of taking off. The plane is red, with a blue lightning stripe zig-zagging it's way across the body, outlined in white, and with the white registration "G-BCSL" overlaid on the rear fuselage. The tandem 2-seat cockpit sits under a heavily glazed canopy, with both seats filled with people wearing grey headsets. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear of the fuselage, taxiing from right to left as it turns from a taxiway on to a runway. The plane is mostly white, with an orange stripe running along the lower body, and a red belly. There are small, black "Aviogenex" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is red, with a stylised white letter "A", with a reflection below. A black chain-link fence stretches across the bottom of the frame, with people standing around, some looking at the plane. Green grass on the far side of the runway leads off to trees in the distance, under grey skies.

Side view of a rather boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is almost entirely white, with only red "LoganAir" titles on the upper rear fuselage, below the wings, with additional black text "Scotlands Airline" below that, and the black registration "G-BLPV" on the upper rear fuselage marring the "polar bear on an ice floe" look. There is a stylised upper-case letter "L" with a black triangle in the top right corner in the middle of the white tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to a black runway in the distance that cuts across the frame, with more grass on the far side.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined airliner taxiing from right to left, following a yellow line marked on a taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black letters "FC" on the open nosewheel doors, as well as small "Fokker 50" titles just aft of the forward passenger door. The tail is dark blue, along with a fillet along the top of the rear fuselage, with a yellow circle in the middle of the tail containing a stylised image of a dark blue flying bird with outstretched wings. Grey concrete apron fills the background, with a patch of green grass in the top right corner.

Side view of ahigh-winged, twin propellor engined airliner taxiing from right to left, following a yellow line marked on the apron as it makes the final turn to it's right to reach it's gate. The plane is a dark blue lower half and grey upper surfaces, with a red pinstripe running along the top of the blue section ending in a half arrowhead just under the cockpit windows. There are black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller, italicised "Express" titles following. The black registration "G-BRYP" is on the upper rear fuselage, just under the tail. The tail itself is grey at the bottom, with a red and dark blue triangle towards the rear, and dark blue at the top, with a grey heraldic crest in the middle. A strip of grass lines the side of the apron in the bottom right corner, with more grass filling the background, bisected by a black runway that runs from one side of the frame to the other. A white car with a yellow roof is driving from right to left along the apron in the background.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a thin green and red stripe running along the body, turning up into the lower reaches of the tail, as well as along the sides of the engine pods on the wings. There are black "Manx" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the registration "G-BUUR" on the lower rear. Rather damp, grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with several planes in the background, slowly vanishing into mist as they go further back.

Rear side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a rather damp taxiway. The plane is white on the top, with a bare metal belly, and a blue stripe running along the body, outlining the top and bottom of the passenger cabin windows. There are blue " Adria Airways" titles on thecupper forward fuselage, and the blue registration "S5-ABC" on the upper rear, slmost hidden by the grey engine pods mounted on the side of the rear fuselage, below the tail. The tail is white, with a couple of blue chevrons pointing upwards in a white circle outlined in a blue square, which is next to a small Slovenian flag. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grey taxiways snaking their way through grassed areas in the background, and a white and grey jet airliner just poking into frame on the left, following one of those taxiways.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the right on grey concrete apron. The plane is mostly white, with a red belly, and a grey stripe running along the body, separating the 2 colours. There are black "Suckling Air" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-BMMR" on the upper rear. The red belly and grey stripe extended upwards through the rear of the tail, with red lower-case letters "sa" in the middle of the white tail. Grey concrete fills the foreground and most of the background, with several airliners visible in the distance, slowly being swallowed up in mist.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a grey belly, and red "Air India" titles along the top of the fuselage. There is the red outline of a stripe running along the body, framing the passenger cabin windows, which are also painted with red arches, to look like windows in a castle or palace. The tail has the red image of a stylised flying bird, along with red titles in an Indian script that translate to "Air India". Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a pair of blue fuel storage tanks in the middle of the background, surrounded by large yellow metal frames and black buildings on the right, and a large grey hangar door on the left, under dreary grey skies.
