Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

A small, single engined light aircraft parked on black tarmac, facing to the right and away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with only the black registration "G-CIFL" on the side of the rear fuselage, and the large bubble canopy over the cockpit marring the whiteness. Black tarmac apron fills the foreground, with a high-winged light aircraft parked on the other side of a fuel pump in the background. A large road bridge soars into the sky in the distance, stretching across the frame, under grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined light transport plane parked on grass facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue lower body, sweeping up to fill the rear fuselage and tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a white, single engined light aircraft just nosing in to frame from the left. There are several buildings in various shades of grey in the background, with a white fuel tank with red "Total" markings on the left of the frame, all under flat white sky.

Side view of a 4-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left at a busy airport. The plane is mostly white, with blue-green "BWIA West Indies" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over the wings, and black "Airbus A340" text on the lower forward fuselage, just aft of the forward cabin door. The black registration "9Y-JIL" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "www.bwee.com" on the lower rear. The green-blue tail has a stylised, white steel drum filling most of the space. The engine pods, mounted under the wings, are da deep purple, while the up-turned wing-tips being a similar colour to the tail, possibly a bit greener. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with 5 jet airliners, some white and blue, others white and orange, parked on apron in the background, stuck amongst some tail lighting poles, with trees in the distance under flat grey sky.
