Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined aircraft taxiing from right to left along a black asphalt taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a thick red and thinner black stripe running along the body, and small, black "Northern Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the larger, black registration "G-BEEG" on the upper rear. The tail is white, with a red triangle in the middle. Grey apron fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under flat white sky.

Side view of a twin engined military trainer aircraft with a V-Tail, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is in a basic bare metal colour scheme, with day-glo panels wrapped around the nose, rear fuselage, and wing-tip fuel tanks. There is a large black number "219" under the front of the tandem 2-seat cockpit, with only the front seat occupied, with the number repeated in a smaller form under the V-Tail on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a grey jet fighter on the left of the frame, and a large blue building on the right. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance.

Rear view of a high-winged, four-engined jet airliner facing towards the left and away from the camera but being pushed backwards by a low blue tug attached to the nose-wheel. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and green stripe running along the body, under the passenger cabin windows, curving up slightly towards the tail at the rear. The black registration "F-GLNI" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. The tail is white, with a blue, flying, winged horse filling the top, and the words "Air" (in blue) and "Jet" (in green) at the base. The tail-cone is split vertically, the two halves extended out and to the side, acting as air brakes. Grey-brown concrete apron fills the foreground and much of the background, with a yellow line marked for the plane to follow. Strips of grass line taxiways at the top of the frame.

Manchester, MAN, EGCC, Runway24, Vickers, VC10, RAF, RoyalAirForce, ManchesterMonday, AvGeek, aviation, planespotting, photography, Slightly blurry side view of a white, 4 engined military jet transport aircraft with the engines mounted in pairs on the sides of the rear fuselage, moving at high speed from left to right on a wet runway, with flaps fully deployed below the wings, suggesting it is slowing down after landing. The plane has a white upper fuselage and grey lower fuselage, separated by a jagged blue stripe covering the passenger cabin windows. There is a large red, white, and blue roundel on the lower forward fuselage, and black "Royal Air Force" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The serial "XR808" is on the side of the engine pods in black, and a large blue, white, and red fin flash is on the tail, under the large number "808". A large grassed area fills the foreground, with more grass beyond the runway leading up to a pair of black hangars with light aircraft parked outside, with bare trees beyond that, under cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a curving grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a thick blue stripe running along the body, covering the main passenger deck windows, with a thinner orange stripe below that. There are large "SAA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the main and upper deck windows, with smaller blue text "Tafelberg" above the blue stripe, below the cockpit windows, and not-quite-as-small blue text "South African Airways" above the blue stripe, over the wing root. Additional text "Boeing 747" and seemingly hand-written "Super B" are on the upper rear fuselage, along with the black registration "ZS-SAL" next to a small South African flag just below the tail. The last three letters of the registration, "SAL" are repeated on the sides of the open nose-wheel doors. The tail is bright orange, with a blue, gazelle-like leaping animal with wings, outlined in white, filling the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass and a black runway in the background, under flat white sky. A black chain-link fence stretches across the bottom of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left across a stretch of grey apron. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue, billboard-style "LOT" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, with a dark blue stripe running backwards from the top of the letter "T", covering the passenger cabin windows. There is black text "Polish Airlines" above the stripe, just aft of the "LOT" titles, on the upper fuselage. The black registration "SP-LHG" is on the tail-cone, under the tail. The white engine pods have a dark blue strip running along the middle, pretty much level with the body stripe, overlaid with white text "TU134A". The tail is dark blue, with a white circle in the middle containing a highly stylised dark blue flying bird, with long wings swept slightly forwards, and a white and red stripe at the top of the tail, similar to the Polish flag. The nose-gear is in a typical place for this size of plane, but the main gear is attached to pods mid-way along the rear of each wing, which it will retract into. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with several grey taxiways divided by large grassed areas in the background. A white jet airliner with red and yellow stripes along the body and "Inter European" text on the upper forward fuselage is taxiing from left to right along the taxiway on the left of the frame, just behind this plane. There is a large, green, metal frame in the top right corner, with trees in the distance stretching across the rest of the image.

Side view of a 3-engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed backwards to the right by a low, white tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long, yellow pole. The plane is white on top, with a pair of blue stripes running along the body, the thicker stripe on top covering the passenger cabin windows, which turns up at the rear to fill the tail. There are blue, lower-case "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the last letter "A" in red, with a small, red and white Canadian flag on the upper rear fuselage, over the rear of the wing root. The white registration "C-FTNB" is further back on the upper rear fuselage, under the white centre engine intake. The tail is almost entirely blue, with a diagonal red stripe, outlined in white, in the bottom right corner. and large, white, lower-case letters "AT" filling the top. Wet concrete apron fills the foreground, with the planes reflection fairly clear in the water . The white and blue fuselage and blue and white tail of a smaller jet airliner is behind the cockpit on the left of the frame. Several strips of grass separate and delineate more apron areas in the background, with a pair of white, yellow, and black jet airliners - one with 2 engines, the other with 4, on the left and centre of the background, with trees in the distance being swallowed up in murky grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a green stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with large, black "AviaNova" on the upper forward fuselage, above the stripe, and smaller text "Gruppo Alitalia" below the stripe. There is small, black text "Fokker 70" at the front of the side of the white engine pods mounted on the rear fuselage, and the black registration "I-REJU" on a fillet at the front of the tail, above the rear of the engines, with the last 2 letters, "JU", repeated in a smaller form on the open nose-wheel doors and right at the top of the tail. The tail is white, with a large, green, upward pointing chevron with a red triangle in the middle. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a brown terminal building stretching into frame from the right in the background, with large grassed areas and trees stretching off into the distance on the left, with hazy grey sky at the top of the screen.
