Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with red "Swiss" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering the forward passenger cabin windows. The black registration "HB-IPT" in on the lower rear fuselage, with the last two letters "PT" repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. The tail is white, with a red band across the middle, with a white cross in the centre. Green grass fills the foreground, while a heavily glazed, grey terminal building stretches across the background, with tall lighting poles reaching up over the top. Grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft park facing to the left on black asphalt. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of red ribbons twisting their way along the body, with the black registration "G-BTKG" overlaid on the side of the rear fuselage. Black apron fills the foreground, with grass and a green, tube-like building with corrugated metal walls in the background. The white and blue tail of another light aircraft is peeking into frame on the right. Grey-blue sky fills the top left corner of the image.

Four military jet fighter aircraft flying in a diamond formation from left to right at low altitude, banked heavily to the left to show off their undersides. The planes mostly carry a green and grey camouflage scheme, but the underside of the wings and centre fuselage are red, with a pair of white stripes under each wing-tip, the white outline of a circle with a white cross in the middle at the rear of the centre fuselage, and a "Y"=shape at the front of the centre fuselage, with the arms reaching out into the leading edges of the wings. A white drop-tank is fitted under each wing. Flat grey sky fills the background.

Front-side view of a single-engined, single-seat light aircraft, with a pair of staggered wings, on display facing to the right in a museum. The plane is white, with a an open cockpit in the nose behind the exposed engine. A large, white, ribbed wing is suspended over the cockpit, with part of the registration "G-A" visible under the right side. A smaller, white wing is mounted on the top of the fuselage immediately behind the cockpit. The white tail has the text "BHP1 at the bottom, and a line drawing of a dog, both partially obscured by the wings. There is no horizontal stabiliser. A creamy-grey floor fills the foreground and a large chunk of the background. A grey bi-plane fills most of the rest of the background on the left, with the grey tail of a larger aircraft, with the red number "80", outlined in white, and a red, white, and blue finflash on the side, on the right. A walkway with a brown wooden balustrade stretches across the top of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. There are large, very pale blue "Sabena" titles running along the body, with smaller, darker blue "Sabena" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-SDP" on the side of the rear fuselage, just aft of the rear door. A dark blue circle is in the middle of the white tail is bisected by an elongated, white letter "s". Small Belgian and EU flags are on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Grey taxiway fills the foreground, with a white strip of grass in the background, with a low, dark brown brick building with red doors and trim in the middle of the frame. Another taxiway runs across the frame beyond that, with a white and orange jet airliner coming in to frame on the left. More grass, with a grey taxiway, and prefabricated buildings fill the rest of the frame.

Front-side view of a squat and boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing slightly to the right of the camera on a grey apron area. The plane is green on top, with a thick blue stripe and thicker dark green stripe, the dark green stripe covering the passenger cabin windows. There is a thick white stripe at the bottom of the body, with a grey belly. White "GillAir" text is on the upper forward fuselage, repeated in a smaller form on the side of the rear fuselage, with the white registration "G-SBAC" on the lower rear. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a line of red and white blocks stretching across the frame behind this plane, separating the plane from the wide grassed area in the background. A black runway and more grass stretch across the top of the screen, with a ground-level car park filling the rest of the frame behind a black fence.

Night-time shot of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right on a large apron area, nose-in to a terminal building that stretches across the background. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly that wraps up around the rear fuselage and tail, with a thin green stripe along the top of the belly and the leading edge of the tail. There are dark blue "AirTours" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-JSMC" on the upper rear. A green circle with a planetery-style ring, overlaid with a large, dark blue, upper-case letter "A" in the middle is in the centre of the dark blue tail. There are 3 baggage compartments open in the lower fuselage, two at the front and one at the rear, with lights shining out, and the door at the front of the cabin, just aft of the cockpit windows, is also open. The passenger cabin windows are all open, with bright lights shining through. Dark apron fills the foreground, with bright lights reflecting off the damp surface. A terminal building stretches across the frame in the background, lights shining through the extensive glazing. The white tail of another, larger, jet airliner reaches up over the top of this terminal building, as do tall lighting towers in the top left corner, and just out of frame in the top right.
