Rear view of a single-engined bi-plane light aircraft parked facing slightly to the right of the camera. The plane is largely white, with black, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes along the body forming a stylised image of the body of an eagle, with similarly coloured stripes on the top and bottom surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser suggesting wing feathers. There is small black text "Christen Eagle" on the upper rear fuselage, just aft of the large bubble canopy, and the black registration "G-GULZ" on the tail. Three men can be seen standing on the far side of the plane, between the cockpit and engine, with one of them seeming to show the other two something. Grey asphalt apron fills the foreground, with a large black hangar in the background, it's large door open on the right revealing some of the planes stored inside.

On This Day 3 26th June 1992.

Rear side view of a long, thin, 4 engined cargo jet aircraft parked facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a thick red stripe running along the middle of the body. There is red text on the upper forward fuselage, the first part obscured by an upwards-hinged open freight door, the rest reading "Anada Cargo", with blue "Express" text below that. A raised cargo loader is parked against the open door, with a large pallet on top, and another already inside the plane ready to be moved. The tail is red, with a white maple leaf inside the outline of a white circle filling the middle, and the white number 867 right at the top. A set of blue mobile airstairs is parked against the open forward cabin door, between the cargo door and the cockpit, with another set by the open rear door, just ahead of the black registration "C-FTIK". Empty blue freight trailers sit in front of the rear fuselage, with a yellow, red, and white re-fuelling truck sitting below the left wing. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with large brown freight shed with red and white stripes on the roof fill the background, with trees beyond that stretching off into the distance, meeting hazy grey sky on the horizon.

On This Day 26th Jun 1993.

Head-on view of a dark blue helicopter with a heavily glazed nose parked on a saturated black taxiway, facing slightly left of the camera. There are red chocks in front of the main wheels , and red covers n the engine air intakes. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway, with a metal fence separating the taxiway from crowds of people walking past, with food and retail stalls beyond them. Gloomy grey skies above promise more rain soon.

Frankfurt Friday 26th June 2026.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, as well as the black registration "D-AIQC" next to a small German flag on the lower rear. The tail is dark blue, with a yellow circle containing a stylised image of a blue flying bird in the middle, and the white letters "QC" right at the top. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with white mobile airstairs parked in front of a sandy brown building in the background, with a larger plane wearing similar colours to this one peeking out from behind it. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
