Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at speed along a runway with flaps slightly extended behind the wings, and the nose raised slightly, suggesting it is taking off.The plane is largely white, with large, blue, billboard-style "IcelandAir" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, partially covering the passenger cabin windows. The registration "TF-ICC" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Icelandic flat. A thin light blue stripe wraps around the rear fuselage and the leading edge of the tail, with a thicker dark blue stripe wraps around the tail-cone and the rest of the tail, with a white, waving, double ribbon in the middle. A black taxiway winds it's way through a large grassed area in the foreground, with more grass visible under the planes in the background. The dark blue and yellow tail of another jet airliner is visible over the rear fuselage of this one, with trees beyond that in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and blue "Sun Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "TC-SNT" is on the lower rear fuselage, below the rearmost passenger cabin windows, with a small Turkish flag just above those windows. A circular, blue sunburst design with an orange band across the middle is on the plane's nose, below the cockpit windows, replicated in a larger form on the tail and rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are white on top and blue on the bottom, with an orange stripe across the middle, and white text "SunExpress.com" along the bottom half, while the up-and-down-turned wing-tips are blue, with orange tips on the upper section. Grey concretes apron fills the foreground, with white and yellow markings for aircraft to follow, as well as roadways marked for ground vehicles. More apron fills the background, with a strip of grass separating 2 different areas, with several planes parked against a grey building in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The planes id largely white with partially obscured "Thomas Cook" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and the black registration "LY-VEB" on the lower rear fuselage.

Vivid blue sky with occasional light fluffs of thin cloud fills the background.

Side view of a bright orange, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage still lowered, flaps slightly extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There are large, white "EasyJet.com" titles written across the fuselage, with smaller "EasyJet" titles on the engine pods under the wings, as well as diagonally on the tail. There is a large white number "200" on the forward fuselage just under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "G-EZUI" on the lower rear fuselage. Pale blue sky with white patches of cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and blue "Kabo Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the upper and lower deck cabin windows. A blue circle with a red outline is on the tail, with a stylised white lightning bolt (or possibly upper case letter "N") in the middle. A tall, grey lighting pole in the foreground partially obscures the tail-cone and tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with various white airport trucks and mobile airstairs gathered in the bottom right corner. Trees fill the background, under grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a reddish-grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with red "LoganAir" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-SAJF" on the lower rear, just below and forward of the red engine pods. The tail is covered in a black, red, and white tartan pattern. Green grass fills the foreground, with some out-of-focus rolls of razor wire at the bottom of the frame. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a metallic blue small helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, facing to the right. There is a light blue lightning flash on the lower fuselage and door, with silver "R22"text on the upper rear fuselage, above smaller "Beta II" text. The silver registration "G-HIZZ" is at the front of the tail boom, just as it comes out of the fuselage, above the partially exposed engine. The black and white striped tail rotor is on the left side at the rear of the tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground, with several planes parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance, under blue sky with smatterings of thin white cloud.

Front side view of a microlight aircraft parked on grass, facing to the right, with its left wingtip resting on the ground. What little fuselage there is, is a metal frame covered in a carbon fibre shell, with a pair of tandem seats in an open cockpit on top, with a small engine driving a pusher propellor immediately behind, suspended under a large, triangular parasol wing. A small nosewheel is embedded in the forward shell, with main gear covered in yellow spats are on the end of outriggers attached just in front of the engine. The carbon fibre shell is bright yellow, with the wing being mostly yellow, and blue leading edges and cream trailing edge. The black registration "G-MTMW" is on the underside of the left side of the wing. Green grass fills most of the bottom of the frame, with another microlight with a yellow and purple wing on the right of the background, and a single engined light aircraft taxiing away from the camera on the left. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin engined jet airliner lined up waiting for take off on a grey runway. The plane is largely white with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A twisted, red and blue ribbon is on the upper forward fuselage, immediately aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "OY-NCL" is on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with rippling red stripes either side of a rippling dark blue triangle in the middle. The horizontal stabiliser, mounted at the top of the tail, is casting it's own shadow on the top and front of the tail, which suggests that the sun is up in the top left corner somewhere. Green grass fills the foreground, lining both sides of the runway. Trees in the distance meet grey clouds and blue sky.
