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 white pole. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and blue "Sun Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "TC-SNT" is on the lower rear fuselage, below the rearmost passenger cabin windows, with a small Turkish flag just above those windows. A circular, blue sunburst design with an orange band across the middle is on the plane's nose, below the cockpit windows, replicated in a larger form on the tail and rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are white on top and blue on the bottom, with an orange stripe across the middle, and white text "SunExpress.com" along the bottom half, while the up-and-down-turned wing-tips are blue, with orange tips on the upper section. Grey concretes apron fills the foreground, with white and yellow markings for aircraft to follow, as well as roadways marked for ground vehicles. More apron fills the background, with a strip of grass separating 2 different areas, with several planes parked against a grey building in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is largely white, with a grey belly, and red "SwissAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "HB-IPI" on the lower rear. The tail is red, with a large white cross in the middle. A large grey concrete apron area with a small truck in the middle fills the foreground, with grass and a runway in the background leading up to trees in the distance on the left, and a grey and blue hangar with a couple of smaller planes parked outside on the right. Tree covered hills beyond that are rapidly swallowed up in misty cloud.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right at it's gate. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and diagonal blue, yellow, red, and black bands on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "SE-DDR" is on the lower rear fuselage, just in front of the white engine pods, which have a series of small squares - red with a white cross, red with a white and black cross, blue with a yellow cross, each with a golden crown on top - on the side, indicating the flags of the 3 Kingdoms this airline is the flag carrier for. A blue airbridge coming from the terminal building on the right of the frame is attached to the forward door on the other side of the plane, while a set of built-in airstairs is deployed from between the engines in the lower rear fuselage. A cargo door is open in the bottom of the body towards the front of the plane, with a blue baggage bin parked in front, and more blue bins hooked up to small white vehicles nearby. Another cargo door is open in the rear fuselage, just below the engine intake, although there are no vehicles near here. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more apron in the background leading up to grass-lined runways in the distance, rapidly being swallowed up in grey mist.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey concrete taxiway. The plane has a white top half, with a dull bare metal finish on the belly, with a pale blue stripe running along the body, covering the square passenger cabin windows. There are black "Classic Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "HB-ISB" on the upper rear. The tail is white, with a red band 2/3rds of the way up, containing a white cross. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, marked with yellow lines for planes to follow, the plane's tail wheel almost precisely on one line that curves off to one side. Green grass fills a large chunk of the background, with a black runway visible in the distance, with more grass on the far side.

Side view of a silvery-grey helicopter parked facing to the left on a grey concrete pad surrounded by green grass. There is a black stripe running along the body, with small text "R44 Raven II" behind the rear cabin doors, and the black registration "G-CJLL" on the silver tail boom. The horizontal rotor blade on the tale has black and white bands to make it more visible, especially when spinning. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees and grey buildings in the background, under blue-grey skies.
