Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air France" titles just ahead of a short, diagonal red band on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance. Rows of trees beyond that meet the cloudy grey sky.

Front-side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on grey concrete apron. The plane is largely white, with blue "CrossAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a blue splotch next to a very small red splotch on the lower forward fuselage. There is a larger blue splotch with a mid-sized red splotch on the lower centre fuselage,, under the wings, with even larger blue and red splotches on the lower rear fuselage, partially hidden by the inner engine pylons. A cartoon image of a light blue flying elephant above the black text "Jumbolino" is under the cockpit windows. The white tail has a large blue splotch with a ring of small gold stars at the top, and an off-set red square with a large white cross in the middle. A set of built-in airstairs comes from the forward door on the opposite side of the plane. Grey concrete apron marked with yellow lines fills the foreground and most of the background, with a white jet airliner with a blue and yellow tail in the top left corner. Large grassed areas at the top of the frame line taxiways and a black runway, with trees right at the back.

Slightly grainy side view of a twin engined BizJet parked facing to the right on a grey asphalt apron area. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a red stripe running along the lower fuselage. Large white engines are mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. The red registration "HB-ILK" is on the upper third of the white tail, above a red and white Swiss flag. Grey asphalt apron fills the foreground, with a strip of green grass and several more white BizJets in the background. A wide blue hangar with it's doors open, and a white sign with the blue text "Lynton Aviation" over the doors, fills the rear of the frame from the right, under flat white sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft with a large bubble canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, parked facing to the right on a black asphalt taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a red band wrapped around the lower nose, which turns into a thin red stripe that runs along the body under a thin blue stripe, both overlaid by the blue registration G-EFSM" on the side of the rear fuselage. The blue text "Firefly M260 Demonstrator" is overlaid on the blue stripe under the cockpit. The blue text "Slingsby" is on the top of the engine cowling in the nose, just ahead of a white, 3-bladed propellor, with dark blue blobs suggesting the movement of the propellor. The spinner on the propellor-hub, and the tips of the propellor blades, as well as the leading edges of the tail and the outer panels of the wings and horizontal stabiliser, are the same vivid red as the stripe along the body. A white, A-frame sign with details about this plane, is lying, folded on the ground in the bottom white corner. A pair of similar jet fighters sit in the background, the one in the centre of the frame, behind this plane's cockpit, is in a camouflage scheme in shades of brown and yellow, while the one on the right of the frame is in various shades of blue. Behind and between those fighters sits a grey military transport plane, parked facing away from the camera. Green grass stretches across the frame in the distance, under cloudy sky with occasional patches of light blue sky.
