Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner on static display at an airshow, parked facing to the left. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-JAYV" on the lower rear. Below the registration is a panel with a slightly different shade of white, covering the registration it will have after delivery, next to a small German flag. The tail is a dark blue, with a yellow circle in the middle, containing a stylised blue flying bird, and the white letters "RF" in the top right corner. A large expanse of tarmac fills the foreground, with a row of cars on the left, and people walking around in front of the plane. Other planes can be seen in the background on the left of the planes, with a red tent on the right, and crowds of people walking around on both sides. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Close up of the forward fuselage of a white, twin engined bi-plane airliner taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane has a grey belly and engines, with a green stripe running along the body and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The pilot is visible in the cockpit, with passengers sitting in the cabin, visible through the triangular windows. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Slightly elevated side view of a twin-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style, red and green "TAP" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller "Air Portugal " titles above the windows at the front of the passenger cabin. The tail has part of those same large red and green titles, with white "Express" titles arranged vertically in the long stroke of the red letter "P". Grey concrete apron marked with lines for planes to follow fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very small, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Sky Ranger" text over a stylised image of a mountain range on the upper fuselage immediately behind the cockpit doors, the blue registration "G-CFJG" on the tail, and the head of a fire-breathing dragon that, coincidentally, lines up perfectly with the pilots legs, as seen through the bottom of the glazed doors. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the distance, and patches of blue sky visible in gaps.

Side view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft being pushed around by a man wearing a check grey shirt and blue jeans. His right hand is holding the planes propellor, while his right hand is guiding a red pole that attaches to the planes nosewheel. The plane is mostly white, with a blue stripe running along the lower body, and the black registration "G-CLFG" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a corrugated grey metal hangar filling the background.

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.
