Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on a black runway, with the red and white tips of the propellors a spinning blur indicating they are running full tilt, flaps extended from behind the wings, and the rear cargo loading ramp almost fully deployed, with a man wearing olive-green fatigues crouched by the end of the ramp. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with a blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, next to the black serial number "VX232". There is a black number "232" on the nose under the cockpit, repeated on the tail, where it is sandwiched between a British flag above, and a red and blue fin flash below. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a tall grey hangar on the left, and a lower blue hangar on the left, with a couple of grey fighter jets in front of the latter. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right, following a white line on the taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "ATI" titles on the forward fuselage, with a lighter blue triangle filling the lower part of the letter "A", and a dark blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail where it repeats that letter "A". There are black "DC-9" titles on the bare-metal engine pods on the sides of the rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with large areas of green grass lining taxiways and a black runway in the background, with a grey and yellow terminal building stretching across the frame in the distance, with a very large, grey and blue jet airliner parked nose in in front of it.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long yellow pole. The plane is largely white, with a collection of heads of people, of various genders and ages, most in full colour and others in black and white, scattered across the fuselage. There are black "Austrian Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a small red arrowhead. The black registration is on the rear fuselage, overlaid on some of the heads on the rear fuselage. The tail is red, with a wide white band across the middle, resembling the Austrian flag, with the large head of a man with a bouffant hairstyle right at the rear. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with another white jet airliner being pushed back towards the camera on the lower right of the frame. The blue tail and white rear fuselage of another jet airliner pokes into frame in the top left, with green grass and grey taxiways filling the rest of the background.

Low side view of an almost completely white, twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage in the middle of being retracted, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised, suggesting it has taken off. There are black "Japan Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, The registration "JA845J" on the upper rear fuselage, and under the outer panels of the underside of the left wing. There are additional "Unicef" titles on the upper rear fuselage, and a red bird with wings extended in a circle, with the white letters "JAL" at the bottom on the plane's tail. Blue sky with smears of grey fill the background.
