Side view of a twin jet-engined, military light bomber taxiing from left to right along a black runway with it's wings folded up. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage, with blue and red roundels on the lower forward fuselage, under the cockpit, and under the outer wing panels, the latter visible because the wings are raised into their stowed position. There is a blue and red fin flash on the tail, next to the grey number "864". The cockpit canopy is in the slid back position, with both crew members visible in their tandem seats. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the background on the right, with rolling, tree covered hills fading into the hazy grey sky.

Side view of a rather square, box-sided, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner moving from right to left at speed along a black runway, with flaps slightly extended behind the wings, suggesting it is taking off. The plane is light grey on the top half and dark blue on the bottom, with I thin red pin-stripe at the top of the blue, ending in a half arrow-head at the front, just behind the cockpit. There are black "British Airways Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the last word being in italics and less bold than the first two words, and the black registration "G-BMAR" is on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is light grey at the bottom, and dark blue at the top, with a dark blue and red triangle on the trailing edge at the top of the grey, and a grey heraldic crest in the middle of the dark blue. Wet black apron and green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to buildings and a metal tower with a white and red radar dish on top in the distance, being swallowed up in grim grey sky.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, facing to the right but being pushed back to the left by a low-slung blue truck almost hidden behind a grey building on the left of the frame. There are faded red stripes running along the body, with red stripes on the white engine pods above and below the red registration "OK-BYV", and a red tail with rounded off cube with white, red, and blue faces. There are small, black "Ceska Republica" on the upper forward fuselage. A black pole with wheels at the bottom supports the rear fuselage. Grey apron fills the bottom of the screen, with the top of a white jet airliner and part of a building in the bottom right corner. Strips of green grass mark the edges of a taxiway in the background, with a couple of large grey hangars in the distance, under cloudy grey skies.

Front view of a twin propellor-engined BizProp parked facing slightly to the right. The plane is white, with a thick dark blue stripe running along the side of the fuselage, as well as along the sides of the engine pods mounted in front of the wings. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large black hangar filling the background, some of it's inhabitants visible through the large, open doors.
