Emirates

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway with the rear panel of one of the engines slid back, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with large gold "Emirates" titles in English on the upper forward fuselage, between the 2 rows of passenger windows, and smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further back, over the wings. A waving United Arab Emirates flag (red vertical bar on the left, with equal green, white, and black stripes on the right) covers the tail and part of the rear fuselage. Golden calligraphic art made up of the characters that make up the airlines Arabic name adorns the engine pods, the cowling of the inner engines split as the rear portion has moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers. Another runway stretches across the foreground, lined by green grass, while a pair of large grey hangars dominate the background, under pale blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, bi-plane, pre-World War 2-era airliner taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane has a white top half with a grey belly, with a green and black stripe running along the body, and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A man can been seen sitting in the highly glazed cockpit, with a woman staring out from one of the curved, angular passenger cabin windows. A brown brick control tower can be seen in the middle of the background, with a couple of parked light aircraft on the left, and a red fire truck on the right, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with golden "Emirates" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and smaller titles in a golden Arabic script over the wings. Golden Arabic calligraphy covers the white engine pods under the wings, echoing the titles on the fuselage. Images of grey and black elephants wander across the rear fuselage. A large grassed area fills the foreground, with a grey taxiway right at the bottom of the frame. Trees line the far side of the runway, with buildings in the far distance disappearing into murky grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined light aircraft flying from left to right at a low altitude, with flaps extended from behind the wings. The plane is mostly white, with a thin red stripe running along the body, and the partial registration "G-AK" visible on the rear fuselage. The white twin tails have short diagonal blue, red, and orange stipes overlaid with red "Total" titles. Flat white clouds fill the rest of the frame.
