TailsTuesday

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a large bubble canopy over the canopy, and a purple stripe running along the body, outlined in dark blue. A similar stripe adorns the top of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, as well as most of the background, with trees in the distance. A grey and white light aircraft is parked on the left of the frame. Bright but hazy skies fill the top of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left as it turns on to a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with grey "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with additional "Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage. Smaller "Scandinavian" titles are on the sides of the white engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail. The blue registration "EC-MLC" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Spanish flag, which itself is just aft of a stylised golden crown. On the upper rear fuselage, there is a 9*3 grid of coloured dots, representing the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the 3 countries for whom SAS is the nominal flag carrier. Slightly yellowing grass fills the foreground, along the side of the runway, while grey hangars are visible over the top of the plane in the background, under blue skies.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft taxing from right to left across a grass airfield. The plane is a silvery grey, with a black and red stripe swirling it's way along the body, and the black registration "G-CGVT" on the lower rear fuselage. There is black text "Mainair Flying School", alongside a telephone number on the rear half of the tail. Metallic grey spats with black and red stripes cover the wheels on the undercarriage. Two people can be seen in the cockpit through the comically oversized bubble canopy. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees on the airfield perimeter, rolling hills in the far distance, and blue sky at the top of the frame.

Side view of a small helicopter hovering a few metres above a grassy field, facing to the left. The copter is in a metallic blue livery, with a large golden zig-zag stripe on the side of the fuselage, partially missing because the doors aren't being carried on this flight, and the golden registration "G-GHIZZ" on the long, thin tail boom. A man is sitting in the left seat in the cockpit, holding a camera as he takes a photo towards the viewer. Green grass in the background leads up to trees stretching across the frame in the distance, and a tall electricity pylon with cables that reach across the frame, under cloudy white sky.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner parked on a runway facing to the left, it's propellors blurred as they spin. The plane has red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, followed by black text "Scotlands Airline". The registration "G-LGNT" is on the upper rear fuselage, in black. The tail is covered in a red, black, and white tartan pattern. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a large grey building in the distance. Pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud fill the rest of the frame

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined light aircraft, parked facing to the left in a brown brick hangar. The plane has a pair of green stripes running along the body, widening as they move rearwards, and a green tail outlined in white. The fixed undercarriage has spats covering the top of the wheels, with the top half painted green, the lower half in white. The registration "G-BFBD" is on the rear fuselage in black. Several light aircraft can be seen parked in the background on the left, behind this plane's nose. Brown brick walls stretch across the background, with grey vertical metal support beams at intervals. Boarded-up windows fill the top of the walls.
