May 2026 (Page 4)

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side-view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just centimetres between the grass runway and the plane's wheels. The plane is largely white, with a blue and brown stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-TIFG" on the side of the rear fuselage. White spats cover all 3 wheels, with blue stripe running along each one2 people can be seen i the rather cramped, fully glazed cockpit. The plane is casting a strong shadow on the ground quite a way behind it, suggesting that the sun is about 3 quarters of the way up the left of the frame. Green grass fills the rest of the image.

Low front view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on gravel. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a thick stripe that used to be dark blue but is now faded to dark green running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are red and white letters "BEA" on the upper forward fuselage, and a partial UK flag on the now-green tail. The underside of the wings is red. A long yellow pushback pole is attached to the nosewheel. White airstairs are attached to the front and rear cabin doors on the far side of the plane. Trees fill the background on the left of the frame, with a rather square and boxy green metal frame taking up most of the rest of the background, and the grey tail of another plane on the right, all under gorgeous blue sky.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner on static display at an airshow, parked facing to the left. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-JAYV" on the lower rear. Below the registration is a panel with a slightly different shade of white, covering the registration it will have after delivery, next to a small German flag. The tail is a dark blue, with a yellow circle in the middle, containing a stylised blue flying bird, and the white letters "RF" in the top right corner. A large expanse of tarmac fills the foreground, with a row of cars on the left, and people walking around in front of the plane. Other planes can be seen in the background on the left of the planes, with a red tent on the right, and crowds of people walking around on both sides. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Close up of the forward fuselage of a white, twin engined bi-plane airliner taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane has a grey belly and engines, with a green stripe running along the body and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The pilot is visible in the cockpit, with passengers sitting in the cabin, visible through the triangular windows. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Slightly elevated side view of a twin-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style, red and green "TAP" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller "Air Portugal " titles above the windows at the front of the passenger cabin. The tail has part of those same large red and green titles, with white "Express" titles arranged vertically in the long stroke of the red letter "P". Grey concrete apron marked with lines for planes to follow fills the rest of the frame.
