Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined military flying boat taxiing, on wheels, from right to left along a black runway. The plane is almost entirely white, with only a large, black letter "P" just aft of the large, heavily glazed blisters on the rear fuselage, with a blue white, and red roundel outlined in yellow a bit further to the rear. The black number "9754" is visible on the bottom of the tail, and there is a red, white, and blue fin flash at the top of the tail, just visible over the wing. The large, parasol-style wing is suspended above the fuselage on a single, rather hefty looking pylon, supported by a pair of struts on each side, with the engines mounted just wide enough apart for the 3-bladed black propellors to rotate just aft of the cockpit. The undercarriage retracts into the fuselage, the nose-wheel into doors in the base of the boat hull, the main wheels retracting into a gap in the side of the fuselage between the wing supports. Lush green grass lines the sides of the runway, extending out to fields in the distance. A random collection of light aircraft, World War 2-era military jet fighters, cars, vans, and caravans can be seen in the distance under the planes rear fuselage. Hazy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right and slightly away from the camera. The plane has a grey top half with a dark blue, almost black bottom half, with a thin red stripe running along the body, ending in a half arrowhead under the cockpit, behind grey "Operated by CityFlyer" text. The grey registration "G-BVTJ" is on the lower rear fuselage. The top half of the tail is dark blue, and carries a grey Royal Crest, while the bottom half is grey, with a red and dark blue triangle at the rear. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and a large chunk of the background, with airport vehicles scattered around, and a white, high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner parked in the upper right corner, and the end of a black terminal building with a couple of empty, white air bridges on the upper left.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the right but being pushed back to the left a low-slung blue tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long yellow pole. The plane is bright red on top, with a thick white stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and a grey lower half. There is small, red text "LTE" on the white stripe just aft of the cockpit windows, repeated in a larger, white form on the red tail. The black registration "EC-ETZ" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of a small Spanish flag. Squares of grey concrete apron fill the foreground, with the end of a grey airbridge with the black number "10" on a yellow square on the side jutting in to the bottom right corner. Grey taxiways wend their way around islands of green grass in the background, leading up to a black runway and more grass in the distance, with trees beyond, under bright but hazy sky.
