Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked on a runway facing to the left. The plane has a very pale blue, thick stripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, with a green stylised flying bird that looks as if drawn by a single stroke of a brush behind the cockpit, and green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is green with a larger white version of the bird logo. The upturned wingtips are also green, this time with just the tips of the birds wings bleeding through from the white underside of the planes wings. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same pale blue as the body stripe. A wide strip of green grass dominates the foreground, with a black mesh metal fence stretching across the bottom of the frame. In the distance, grey hangars can be seen under the planes nose, with a wide grey terminal under the mid and rear fuselage, Blue sky with smears of thin grey cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the left on a grey runway, it's props spinning, waiting for take-off clearance. The plane is mostly purple, with diagonal yellow and red bands around the rear fuselage, and white tail cone and tail. There are white "Flybe" titles over 6 white dots on the forward fuselage, and the white text "Faster than road or rail" on the sides of the purple engine pods under the wings. The black registration "G-PRPE" is on the white tail cone, and there are light and dark blue, diagonal, "FlyBe" titles above 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the runway, with more grass and taxiways in the background, leading up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude. The plane is mostly white, with grey web address "FlygBra.SE" on the lower forward fuselage, as well as inverted under the belly, as well as large, billboard-style letters "BRA" on the side of the rear fuselage. The black registration "SE-MKI" is on the underside of the wings, outboard of the engines. The tail has multiple stripes, each a different colour, looking very bright, especially given the plain-ness of the rest of the plane. Vivid blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the background.

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 front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly. There are light and dark blue, billboard-style, "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over a series of 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots, a logo repeated on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Larger, diagonal "FlyBe" titles fill the white tail and rear fuselage. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.

The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There is a dark blue and red twisted ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, and the dark blue registration "G-EUUM" on the lower rear fuselage.

Side View of a single engined, single seat bi-plane light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low latitude, less than a metre above a grass runway. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON", with similar white stripes running the length of the spats on the main wheels, under the wings. The front of the tail is red, with white "Pitts S-1S"text, while the rear is covered in a red and white checkerboard pattern, which can also be seen on the outer panels of the under side of the wings. A person wearing a white flying helmet can be seen in the single seat cockpit, under a domed canopy. Grrn grass fills the rest of the frame, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the ground behind it, suggesting that the sun is coming from the top left corner.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, along a grey taxiway. The plane has red "Jet2DotCom" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "CS-WFP" just aft of a small Portugese flag on the lower rear. The tail is a deep blue, with a stylised number "2" made up of red, mint green, and light blue sections. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same deep blue as the tail, with the up-turned wing-tips are the same mint green as in the number on the tail. A strip of green grass stretches across the foreground, with a grey cargo building stretching across the background with a grey and red jet airliner parked in front on the right. A couple of grey buildings with hotel logos on top are visible over the top off that building, with trees beyond them, under hazy grey skies.
