Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with large, red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the black registration "G-TUKF" next to a small British flag on the upper rear, and a red winky face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" filling the white tail. The last two letters of the registration, "KF", are at the tip of the tail, and on the open nose-wheel doors. Grey engine pods are mounted under the wings, with the black web address "TUI Dot Com" on the sides, and up-turned white wing-tips with a smaller version of the red winky face. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a couple of strips of grass in the background, with a large expanse of grey apron filling the rest of the frame, with a white, twin engined jet airliner with a red and white tail, immediately behind this plane, and a white airliner on the left in the distance, and a pair of blue airliners on the right.

Side view of a large, twin-engined jet airliner moving at speed from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly a light sandy brown, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, followed by larger, gold "Etihad" titles in English, just ahead of the wing root. There is smaller golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" on the lower forward fuselage. A geometric pattern, mostly made up of triangles in shades of grey, brown, and white, fills the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, eventually meeting just in front of the tail, which is also covered in this design. The black registration "A6-ETD" is on a white part of the rear fuselage. The large engine pods under the wings are white, with , with a black and brown "F1" logo (a black, upper-case letter "F", on the left, a brown gradient on the right, and a number "1" in white negative space in the middle), and the black and brown text "2017 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" on the side. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass and a brown taxiway leading up to a grey terminal building visible under the tail on the right, and the white forward fuselage of another plane in front of some trees on the left. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on grey concrete apron. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, and dark blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a large, dark blue Irish winged harp. The same harp is on the dark blue tail, this time in yellow. The engine pods under the wing are the same as the fuselage, white on top and a dark blue belly, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed from the forward cabin door on the far side. Bright sunlight coming from the right casts a strong shadow on the apron on the left of the frame. Pale blue sky with a smear of white cloud fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, it's rear fuselage hanging out over black asphalt. The plane has a white top half and a red lower half, with 3 gold stripes running through the middle, separating the two halves. The white registration "G-BTNV" is on the lower rear fuselage, partially obscured by the left wing. There is small, gold, seemingly hand-written text "Warrior II" on the engine cowling at the front, and small black text "Piper" under a red and blue triangle on the white bottom of the tail. The top of the tail is also red, with 3 gold stripes between the white and red. Green grass fills the foreground, with black asphalt and grey concrete in the background, with more grass in the distance.

Side view of a rather sleek, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on close-cropped grass. The plane is white on top with a grey lower half, separated by a thin, wavy red stripe running along the body. The red registration "G-CGLT" is on the upper rear fuselage, and there is a grey-red-grey-red strip along the top of the white tail. A white spat covers the nosewheel, while the spats over the main wheels have the same white and grey with a red stripe design as the body. Green grass fills the foreground, with a man wearing a yellow hi-viz vest and dark blue trousers standing by the far wing-tip, looking out to the rest of the airfield. A red light aircraft is in the background on the left, a high-winged yellow plane in the middle, and a white and orange plane on the left, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

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, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, less than a metre above the ground, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land on the grass runway below it. Thew plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit, and a red stripe at the top of the tail. A bright red light is shining right on the top of the tail. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer grass in the background, and trees in the distance, all blurred into a smear.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.
