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 twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left on a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a purple, orange, and gold stripe running along the body from just behind the cockpit, with the gold section at the bottom getting slightly wider as it moves backwards, running under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large Singapore" flag. The tail is purple, with a stylised golden flying bird with wings extended, and an orange stripe on the rear of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with a large terminal building in the background, visible under the plane, with several planes parked next to it. Pale blue sky with grey smears of thin cloud fill the top half of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with diagonal light and blue bands around the plane's nose, with large black "China Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to larger blue "Cargo" text. The black registration "B-18721" is under the upper deck windows, as well as on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white at the top and a pale purple at the bottom, with a pink and red flower filling most of the rest. The roof of a terminal building fills the foreground, with large air conditioning ducts in the middle, with large grey metal structures on either side of the screen. A large grey hangar fills most of the background, with a white and blue twin engined jet airliner parked in front. Hazy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Front view of a blue, 2 seat gyrocopter parked facing the camera. The aircraft has no wings, but instead a rotor like a helicopter, but also has a pusher propellor at the rear. The fuselage is dark blue on the top surfaces, with a creamy white belly. It is parked on a small concrete slab surrounded by grass, with a brown wooden fence separating the airfield from parked cars, with tall trees behind, under pale grey skies.

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 the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land.. The plane is mostly white, with an orange stripe running from the top of the fuselage above the cockpit to the lower fuselage behind the wing, orange engine pods mounted under the wings, orange flap track covers under the wings, and a diagonal orange band wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail. There are diagonal white "EasyJet" titles on the tail, and the black registration "G-EZOU" on the side of the upper rear fuselage and under the outer panels of the left wing, as well as the last 2 letters of the registration "OU" on the open nose wheel doors. The orange up-turned wing-tips have the same diagonal white "EasyJet" titles as on the tail. At the bottom of the frame, a road runs from one side to the other, with a tall, grey, metal fence behind, with tall yellow metal towers with lights on top. A white car is parked in a layby on the bottom left. Blue sky with fluffs of white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on a black runway, with the red and white tips of the propellors a spinning blur indicating they are running full tilt, flaps extended from behind the wings, and the rear cargo loading ramp almost fully deployed, with a man wearing olive-green fatigues crouched by the end of the ramp. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with a blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, next to the black serial number "VX232". There is a black number "232" on the nose under the cockpit, repeated on the tail, where it is sandwiched between a British flag above, and a red and blue fin flash below. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a tall grey hangar on the left, and a lower blue hangar on the left, with a couple of grey fighter jets in front of the latter. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

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 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.
