A black helicopter hovering several metres above the ground. There are very few markings, the silver registration "N520EA" on the engine pod on top of the fuselage, and the white text "MD520N" at the top of the twin tails at the end of the long tail boom. Mown grass flies in the air being forced down by the large rotor blades. Several white light aircraft can be seen in the background at the bottom of the frame, a background dominated by a brown brick control tower with a heavily glazed white top floor, where a man standing on a balcony is taking of photo of the helicopter. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under blue skies.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane sis in a vaguely military-looking olive-green colour scheme, with large, seemingly random patches of white in several places, and the white registration "D-EARY" on the side of the rear fuselage. The engine cowling on the nose is bright yellow, with a large image of a rather aggressive-looking bird with it's mouth open in a screech, with a red banner with the words "Screaming Eagle" underneath. The tail has a black and white large checkerboard pattern on the front half, the rear half being bright yellow with a black and white fin flash towards the top. A section at the rear of the tail has a finer black and white checkerboard pattern. Green grass fills the rest of the frame, except for a dirt track crossing from one side to the other.

Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur. Red spats over the main wheels have similar white stripes on the side Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue rear fuselage and tail, and 2 tone blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with various pieces of airport furniture -mobile air stairs, lighting poles, luggage carts, and more - littering the area, and another airliner in the top right corner, with trees in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the white numbers on a grass runway. The plane is mostly white, with a light and dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the lower parts of the tail, overlaid with dark blue registration "G-BPVA" on the rear fuselage. The plane has flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and is flying more or less straight and level, suggesting it is just about to land. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees filling the background.

The tail is dark blue, with a stylised multi-coloured globe and yellow stars. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with tall green trees in the distance behind the plane on either side, under blue sky with smears of cloud.

Side view of a green, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, undercarriage retracting, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The planes top half is a dark green, with a lighter green stripe over the passenger cabin windows, and a white belly. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and green "Regional" titles at the bottom. The black registration "EI-FAS" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. There is a large, light green shamrock leaf on the tail. Pale blue sky with streaks of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.
