Side view of a metallic blue small helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, facing to the right. There is a light blue lightning flash on the lower fuselage and door, with silver "R22"text on the upper rear fuselage, above smaller "Beta II" text. The silver registration "G-HIZZ" is at the front of the tail boom, just as it comes out of the fuselage, above the partially exposed engine. The black and white striped tail rotor is on the left side at the rear of the tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground, with several planes parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance, under blue sky with smatterings of thin white cloud.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked on a rather unkempt tarmac taxiway, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a light and dark blue stripe running along the body, getting wider as it moves rearwards and sweeps up into the tail, overlaid with the dark blue registration "G-ELBC" on the side of the rear fuselage. The registration also appears under the left wing. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under hazy grey sky.

Front side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, along a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stipe topped by a thinner red stripe, resembling a Viking long boat at the front, that covers the passenger cabin windows. The blue name "Christian Valdemar Viking" is on the side of the nose, under the cockpit windows. There are dark blue "Scandinavian Airlines System" on the upper fuselage, over the wings, and the black registration "OY-KBO" on the upper rear, above the rearmost windows. There are large, dark blue letters "SAS" on the white tail, repeated in a smaller form on the sides of the white engine pods, mounted under the wings. Grass lines the sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with blue sky filling the top.

Side view of a 4 engined jet airliner moving at speed along a black runway, with flaps draped down behind the wings, suggesting it is slowing down after landing. The plane is mostly white with an green stripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, with a gold stripe under the green stripe in front of the wings, and above the windows aft of the wings. The green stripe with the gold stripe above is repeated on the lower part of the tail, and along the engine pods under the wings. Large grassed areas line both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with a large area of concrete apron in the background leading up to a low grey building on the right, with trees in the distance stretching out to meet the grey skyline at the top 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. The plane is almost entirely white, with bold, dark blue "JAT" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just ahead of thinner, grey, "Jugoslovenski AeroTransport" text. The black registration "YU-AJK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under a small Yugoslavian flag on the tail, while the white engine pod on the side of the rear fuselage has black "DC-9" text. The tail is mostly blue at the front and red st the rear, with something that is either a stylised white flame, or possibly a pair of wings, in the middle. A grey-brown taxiway and a wide strip of grass fill the foreground, while a grey building with yellow airbridges hanging off the side stretch across the background, with several grey and dark blue airliner parked in front.
