Side view of a small, single-engined biplane light aircraft taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the rear fuselage. White text on the tail reads "Pitts", in a rather ornate font, with smaller "S-1S" text in a more normal typeface below. The rear, moving portion of the tail is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. The upper surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are covered in a red and white sunburst pattern. The plane's pilot can be seen through the close, blue-tinted cockpit canopy, wearing a grey cloth flying helmet. Short green grass fills the foreground, with slightly longer grass filling the background.

On This Day 21st April 2016.

Side view of a white and red, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right on a black runway. The plane is mostly white, whit large red "Malta" titles on the forward fuselage, partially covering the forward cabin windows, with smaller red "The airline of the Maltese Islands" text above the mid-cabin windows. The rear fuselage and tail is mostly red, with green, orange, blue, and yellow geometric shapes scattered seemingly at random, some partially overlaid with a darker, patterned design. A large, white, Maltese Cross (four arrowheads meeting at a point)fills the centre of the tail. The engine pods under the wings are red, with white "AirMalta[dot]com" text. Large areas of grass fill the foreground and the space immediately behind the runway, with trees in the distance stretching off to the horizon. The rear fuselage and tail of a blue and white twin engined jet airliner are poking in to frame on the right on the distant, parallel runway.

Tails Tuesday 21st April 2026.

Close-up of the tail of a 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly grey, with a dark blue belly, and a dark grey and red pinstripe separating the 2 colours. The tail and centre engine are dark blue, with 5 grey stripes running along the sides, overlaid with a red chevron pointing to the left, and the white number "907" at the top Yellow baggage trucks with blue body stripes can be seen in the background on the bottom right of the frame, with blue and white trucks behind them , while a grey terminal building can be seen over the top of this plane, under grey sky.

Close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the right, with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. The plane is mostly white, with the rear fuselage being black, separated from the white section by a thick red diagonal band around the body, as well as 4 thinner grey bands. The tail and engine pods are also black. There are large white letters "EAL" on the tail, and the white registration "G-AZMF" on the sides of the engine pods. Several lengths of barbed wire, supported on concrete poles, stretch across the bottom of the frame in the foreground, with yellowy-brown brush and bushes on a slight incline in the background on the left. Green fields outlined by bushes and trees in the distance on the right slowly vanish into hazy grey sky.

Vertically-oriented close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a very large jet airliner, facing to the right. The planes body is white, while the tail is dark blue, with stylised aquamarine ocean waves with white foamy crests. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with the nose of a smaller, white airliner poking into frame from the left, and large grassed areas either side of a runway in the distance. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
