A single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in the middle of a grass field. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin grey stripes starting from the engine cowling, running backwards and getting wider as it moves rearwards, under a single, thin red stripe, with a similar design on the spats over the undercarriage. The text "Piper Archer II" is on the upper rear fuselage, just behind the cockpit, followed by a block of text in an Arabic script, and a small Palestinian flag with the words "Free Palestine" across the middle in white and black text. Larger grey and red diagonal bands can be seen on the white tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with several light aircraft parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees meeting grey sky in the distance.

On This Day 16th June 1996.

Forward side view of a twin engined BizJet taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and dark blue underneath and to the rear. White engine pods are mounted on the upper rear fuselage. The black registration "VR-BQF" is on the bottom of the white tail. The large, up-turned wingtips are also dark blue. A pair of grey taxiways fill the foreground, with a strip of green grass on the left separating them until the point where they join. More grass in the background lead up to a black runway, with more grass filling the top of the frame on the far side.

Tails Tuesday 16th June 2026.

The tails and rear fuselages of three nearly identical twin engined jet airliners parked side by side, facing to the right, at an airport. Each one has a white body, with white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, just below and in front of the tail. the tails are red, with a thick white stripe running through the middle. They all have a black registration starting "OE-L" on the rear fuselage, immediately behind the tail. All three have a built-in set of airstairs descending from the rear fuselage, between the engines, under the tail. A white fuel bowser is parked between the nearest pair, with a couple of yellow airport staff cars parked nearby. Baggage carts can be seen clustered around the rear of the furthest pair. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees meeting bright but hazy sky at the horizon.

The tails and rear fuselages of three jet airliners parked side by side. The planes have largely white bodies, with an aquamarine tail and rear fuselage, with a bright green stripe at the front, and a stylised bright green shamrock filling most of the tail. A green metal fence stretches across the bottom of the frame, with "Y"-shaped extensions at the top holding rows of razorwire. Tall lighting poles reach into the sky in the background, with a terminal building stretching across the frame in the background, under fluffs of grey and white cloud with patches of blue in-between, resembling something out of an episode of The Simpsons.

Closeup of the white rear fuselage and yellow tail of a very large jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is the blue outline of a circle on the tail, with a stylised blue flying bird in the middle. The plane's white, upturned wingtip is visible in the bottom right corner of the framer. Blue metal fences and a yellow pre-fabricated are visible under the plane's rear fuselage. Behind the tail is a view across the airfield to a creamy-coloured hangar, under grey skies.
