Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly at the front, although the rear is mostly blue with a white roof, with a light blue stripe separating the 2 sections. There are blue "Blue Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the passenger cabin windows, with smaller, darker "web.com" web address below the windows. The white registration "YR-BAJ" is on the lower rear fuselage., just ahead of the aft cabin door. The tail is mostly white, with a white leading edge, and white diagonal "Blue Air" titles and "Web.com" web address. A grey runway and taxiway, lined with green grass, fills the foreground, while trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey expanse of apron. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the upper forward fuselage, covering the forward passenger cabin windows, with smaller blue titles in an Arabic script just aft of that, and a small Kuwait flag just behind the cockpit windows. The black registration 9K-APH is on the upper rear fuselage, just above what looks like a 3-tone blue swoosh, but on closer inspection turns out to be the stylised silhouette of a bird, with beak turned upwards towards the front, and wings spreading up and out at the rear. Part of this design, the front of the up-swept wings, is repeated on the bottom of the white engine pods, but with the addition of a dark blue bird logo towards the front, a design element repeated in white on the tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a random white airbridge in the bottom left corner, with a strip of green grass between the 2 apron areas. A silver and red jet airliner is parked nose-in to a long, low, grey building in the background, with a taller grey building on the left, and a different building in shades of grey and yellow towering over the lower building. Trees in the distance lead up to grim grey sky.

Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

There are blue bands under the fuselage, near to the blue landing skids. Black tarmac apron marked with yellow lines fills the foreground, with trees in the background, with pale blue sky visible in gaps in the treeline.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner on a black runway, moving slowly from right to left, slight puffs of steam rising from the runway behind it suggesting it is accelerating for take-off. The plane is mostly white, with thin gold and red pinstripes running along the body, and large gold "Etihad" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, in English, with smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further forward. Additional golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" just above the gold and red strip on the forward fuselage. The tail has a golden bird with wings partially extended, and a circular version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates on the chest, in the middle. There is a large text area on the upper rear fuselage advertising the Abu Dhabi Formula Grand Prix on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "wwwDotEtihadAirwaysDotCom" in gold on the lower rear, and the black registration "A6-ETJ" under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large terminal building in the background on the right, and a grey hangar in the background on the left. Rolling blue-grey cloud fills the top of the frame, with light blue patches of clear sky in places. Gorgeous golden light washes across the frame from the lower right, especially on the plane's body.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "Austrian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large, stylised red flying bird. The same red bird logo appears in the white middle of the red tail, the tail colours vaguely reminiscent of the Austrian flag. The black registration "OE-LWK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under small EU and Austrian flags. The engine pods mounted under and ahead of the wings are white on top and red on the sides and bottom, with the white web address "AustrianDotCom" on the sides, while the up-turned wing-tips are the same red. Pale blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with thrust reversers open in the sides of the engine pods, moving at speed from right to left as it turns off the runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin stripes coming up from under the nose, over the wing, and along to the end of the body, with a similar stripe on the tail. The black registration "HZ-A5" is on the upper rear fuselage, and is about the only other markings. Green grass fills the foreground, with a runway passing through at the bottom of the frame. A large grey hangar with roofs at various heights dominates the rest of the frame, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a grey, twin-engined, bi-plane airliner on display facing to the left inside a museum. The plane the black name "Pioneer" in an italic script on the nose, under the cockpit windows, and the black text "Allied Airways" over smaller text "(Gander Dower) Ltd" under the forward passenger windows. The black registration on the side of the rear fuselage is partially obscured by the wing, and is pretty much unreadable, except for "-AD" in the middle. The plane sits on a patch of pale blue concrete floor, the rest of the floor being grey, with low, blue, metal barriers marking a walkway around this and some of the other exhibits in the bottom left corner. Parts of other exhibits can be seen in the background, but no details. A large, arched roof, with wooden panels forming the sides, dirty glazed panels in the middle, and large windows at the end revealing bright sky, soar over everything else in the frame.
