Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with purple "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller, black registration "D-AEWR" just aft of small EU and German flags on the upper rear. Pale blue and purple swirls adorn the tail and tail cone, some connected by grey swirls. Bright sunlight reflects strongly off one of the open landing gear doors under the wing, suggesting that the sun is more or less behind the camera. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with purple fluffs of cloud.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings. There are large, billboard-style, dark blue "Icelandair" titles on the forward fuselage, with dark blue engine pods in front of and below the wings, and a dark blue tail and rear fuselage. There 2 thick, white, waving stripes on the tail, with a pale blue diagonal stripe running down the front of the tail and across the rear fuselage. Trees in the distance fill the bottom of the frame, with cloudy grey skies filling the top of the frame.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a glossy light blue with a white belly, the 2 colours separated by a dark blue stripe running along the body. There are white "KLM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with blue "KLM" titles on the sides of the white tail and white engine pods. The rear fuselage and the wing-tips are blurred and grainy, with blooms of colour along shiny surfaces and edges. Lush blue sky fills the background, with hints of cloud on the left of the frame.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.

Front side view of a glossy black helicopter parked facing to the right on grass, with the motor slowly spinning and the pilots door open. The grey registration "N520EA" is on the side of the engine pods on top of the fuselage, and grey text "MD520N" is on the top of the twin tails at the end of the long, fat tail boom. Notably, there is no vertical rotor at the end of the tail boom. There are 2 people sitting in the heavily glazed cockpit, the person sitting in the right-hand seat wearing a white shirt, and using their hands to demonstrate something to the person in the left hand seat, who is wearing a blue shirt. Green grass fills the foreground, with people sitting or standing behind a green metal mesh fence in the background, and a curved, green corrugated metal hangar behind them on the left, and a large brown brick building on the right. Pretty much everyone in the photo is wearing sunglasses, so it is probably a sunny day.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is covered in wavy black and white stripes, looking vaguely like a zebra would if it had wings. Bright green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees in the distance under blue skies. The tail of another light aircraft can be seen in the background on the left, silver at the front and a black and yellow checkerboard pattern at the rear, overlaid with a red star outlined in yellow, and the black letters "FA" under the horizontal stabiliser.

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.

Front view of a twin engined BizJet taxiing from right to left towards the camera on a wide grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a green squiggle with a grey drop shadow running from under the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, forwards along the body under the passenger cabin window, then up between the cockpit windows and the main door, then rearwards again, over the top of the cabin windows, stopping about half-way along the body S similar strip runs from the bottom left to top right of the tail. There are a pair of bright lights shining in the wing root, creating a slight flare in the image, and causing bright reflections on the fuselage. A large grey and blue hangar dominates the background on the left, with cloudy grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane has a pale blue belly, and pale and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of yellow, red, and purple dots on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated on the sides of the engine cowlings with additional "[dot] com" titles, as well as on the tail, minus the dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with the razor-wire on the top of the perimeter fence visible right at the bottom. More grass in the background leads up to a large grey hangar in the distance on the right, and trees on the left, under blue-grey sky.
