Side view of a small, rather ancient-looking helicopter flying from right to left above a grass airfield. The helicopter is covered in an olive green and brown camouflage scheme, with red "Beware rotor blades" text below the upturned-bucket cockpit. There is black "Army" titles and the serial "XL814" on the tail boom, as well as a red block with white text "Danger" and a white arrow pointing to the spinning tail rotor. It is flying just a few metres above a grass field, with bushes and trees in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

View from almost underneath of a white, 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 pretty much just white, with red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red logo that looks like the upper-case letters "T", "U", and "I" smushed together to form a winking smiley face. There are black "Tui[dot]com" titles on the outer faces of the engine pods slung under the wings. The registration "ES-SAF" is under the outer left wing. Bright lights in the landing gear wells are shining forwards. Clouds fill the background under the plane, with blue sky above.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined military transport aircraft flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is covered in a light and dark green camouflage scheme, with the small serial "XP820", larger black text "Army", and a small blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit windows, over the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the background, with trees and bushes beyond that, mostly on the left, all blurred into a smear as the camera pans to follow the plane, with bright but hazy sky on the right.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "Austrian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large, stylised red flying bird. The same red bird logo appears in the white middle of the red tail, the tail colours vaguely reminiscent of the Austrian flag. The black registration "OE-LWK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under small EU and Austrian flags. The engine pods mounted under and ahead of the wings are white on top and red on the sides and bottom, with the white web address "AustrianDotCom" on the sides, while the up-turned wing-tips are the same red. Pale blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined BizProp aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly white, with a dark and light brown stripe running along the body, engine cowlings in front of the wings, the tips of the wings, and the top of the tail. The black registration "N889VF" is on the lower rear fuselage, a brown drop-shadow giving it a slight 3-D look. Green grass fills the foreground, with a red metal plate with yellow hazard markings lying on the ground. More grass in the background, leading up to trees at the airfield boundary, with tall metal pylons carrying electrical cables across the image, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right across a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey finish, with red and blue stripes swirling across the body, and the blue registration "G-CDOA", with a red drop-shadow, on the side of the rear fuselage. There is blue and red "EuroStar" text on the engine cowling in the nose, and black text "MainAir Flying School" above a web address and a telephone number on the tail. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit, with an man wearing a black cap and black polo-shirt in the right-hand seat and a woman with curly dark hair in the left-hand seat, looking at him and laughing, both of them wearing a headset and microphone. Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with thrust reversers open in the sides of the engine pods, moving at speed from right to left as it turns off the runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin stripes coming up from under the nose, over the wing, and along to the end of the body, with a similar stripe on the tail. The black registration "HZ-A5" is on the upper rear fuselage, and is about the only other markings. Green grass fills the foreground, with a runway passing through at the bottom of the frame. A large grey hangar with roofs at various heights dominates the rest of the frame, under pale blue sky.
