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.

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 white and black, single engined aerobatic light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane has black top and bottom surfaces, with a thick white stripe running along the body, and gold piping in between. The registration "G-IITI" is on a thick white stripe on the black tail. There is a large, glazed canopy over the cockpit, with small white "Nigel Lamb" titles on the fuselage immediately behind the canopy. There are also glazed panels in the lower fuselage, under the wings. Black spats cover the wheels on the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the foreground. A large, red brick hangar is on the right of the frame in the background, with smaller green buildings next to it, towards the middle of the frame. The tail of a white light aircraft and a small, camouflaged helicopter are in the background on the left. Cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane sis in a vaguely military-looking olive-green colour scheme, with large, seemingly random patches of white in several places, and the white registration "D-EARY" on the side of the rear fuselage. The engine cowling on the nose is bright yellow, with a large image of a rather aggressive-looking bird with it's mouth open in a screech, with a red banner with the words "Screaming Eagle" underneath. The tail has a black and white large checkerboard pattern on the front half, the rear half being bright yellow with a black and white fin flash towards the top. A section at the rear of the tail has a finer black and white checkerboard pattern. Green grass fills the rest of the frame, except for a dirt track crossing from one side to the other.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue rear fuselage and tail, and 2 tone blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with various pieces of airport furniture -mobile air stairs, lighting poles, luggage carts, and more - littering the area, and another airliner in the top right corner, with trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with multi-coloured "Small Planet" titles along the fuselage, successive letters in red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. The black registration "LY-SPE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted under the wings are a deep blue, with white "SmallPlanet.Aero" text. The tail is dark blue, with a stylised multi-coloured globe and yellow stars. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with tall green trees in the distance behind the plane on either side, under blue sky with smears of cloud.

Side view of a rather sleek looking, single engined light aircraft parked taxiing from left to right along a grey tarmac taxiway. The plane is almost entirely red, with the black letters "OXI" (part of the registration) visible on the side of the rear fuselage. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit. Long, spindly legs coming from under the wing carry the main wheels, which have streamlined red spats over the wheels. Green grass fills most of the background, with trees stretching along the top of the frame in the distance.
