Side view of a large, twin-engined jet airliner moving at speed from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly a light sandy brown, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, followed by larger, gold "Etihad" titles in English, just ahead of the wing root. There is smaller golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" on the lower forward fuselage. A geometric pattern, mostly made up of triangles in shades of grey, brown, and white, fills the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, eventually meeting just in front of the tail, which is also covered in this design. The black registration "A6-ETD" is on a white part of the rear fuselage. The large engine pods under the wings are white, with , with a black and brown "F1" logo (a black, upper-case letter "F", on the left, a brown gradient on the right, and a number "1" in white negative space in the middle), and the black and brown text "2017 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" on the side. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass and a brown taxiway leading up to a grey terminal building visible under the tail on the right, and the white forward fuselage of another plane in front of some trees on the left. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

The nose and forward fuselage of a large, military jet bomber aircraft, mounted on a red metal cradle, and pointed to the right of the frame. The remnant of the plane is mostly covered in a faded grey and brown camouflage scheme, with a pale grey belly, and a large, blue and red roundel on the side of the fuselage, under the cockpit. A white sign can be seen on the front of the metal cradle, the top reading "Tickets for the Vulcan cockpit", the rest being cut off. Cars can be seen in the background, parked on a large grassed area, with white buildings in the distance on the right, and rolling hills on the left, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway, with flaps extended from behind the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed on the runway behind it. The plane has a white top half and a grey lower half, with black "Brussels Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the lower parts of the letters "INE" obscured by a patch of grey paint. There is the black web address "BrusselsAirlinesDotCom" on the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, with small EU and Belgian flags below the windows. A dark blue diagonal band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with the white registration "OO-DWC" on the rear fuselage, and a lower-case letter "B" made up of a line of red dots filling the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with another taxiway stretching across the foreground. More grass separates the plane from a runway in the background, with yet more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on grey concrete apron. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, and dark blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a large, dark blue Irish winged harp. The same harp is on the dark blue tail, this time in yellow. The engine pods under the wing are the same as the fuselage, white on top and a dark blue belly, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed from the forward cabin door on the far side. Bright sunlight coming from the right casts a strong shadow on the apron on the left of the frame. Pale blue sky with a smear of white cloud fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at a high speed, with the rear half of the engines under the wings in the slid-back position, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is broadly a silvery-grey, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage above large, dark blue "KLM" titles under a dark blue crown on the lower forward fuselage. Elaborate dark blue scrollwork covers the rear fuselage, ahead of small Netherlands and EU flags just in front of the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is dark blue, with the grey text "SkyTeam" arranged in a semi-circle, with a crescent moon forming the other half of the circle, and some more elaborate scrollwork in the middle. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with a runway and a taxiway cutting through the middle. A grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a couple of white and orange jet airliners parked in front. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, it's rear fuselage hanging out over black asphalt. The plane has a white top half and a red lower half, with 3 gold stripes running through the middle, separating the two halves. The white registration "G-BTNV" is on the lower rear fuselage, partially obscured by the left wing. There is small, gold, seemingly hand-written text "Warrior II" on the engine cowling at the front, and small black text "Piper" under a red and blue triangle on the white bottom of the tail. The top of the tail is also red, with 3 gold stripes between the white and red. Green grass fills the foreground, with black asphalt and grey concrete in the background, with more grass in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and grey stripe swooping it's way along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CIRZ" on the side of the rear fuselage. White spats cover the landing gear, with a red stripe running through the middle. The white tail has a grey and redd stripe running across the top third, with an image of a brown and white flying bird against a red circle at the top of the front, fixed section, and the black text "MainAir Flying School" and the telephone number "0161 787 5034" towards the bottom. The rear, movable part of the tail has the red outline of a circle with 3 highly stylised flying birds in the middle, and the text "Ikarus C42", over the grey and red stripe. Black asphalt taxiway fills the foreground, with grey concrete taxiway on the left of the background, and a red brick building with red window-frames filling the right.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.
