TAP

Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is pale blue on the top, with a darker blue stripe covering the passenger cabin windows, and a thinner white stripe, with the lower body in a rather battered bare metal finish. There are white letters "KLM" under a stylised white crown on the upper forward fuselage, above blue text "Royal Dutch Airlines" on the white stripe below. The white registration "PH-BTD" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to small Dutch and EU flags. The "KLM" crown logo is repeated on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings, this time in blue, as well as in a larger blue form on the white tail, above the white centre engine pod. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more taxiways criss-crossing a grassed area in the background, in front of a red, heavily glazed building with a squat brown tower with a heavily glazed top floor, which itself sits in front of a large, green, box-like structure. Dreary, cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined BizProp parked on a grey runway, facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with black "Huawei" titles on the nosecone, black text "Huawei P20 Pro" on the sides of the engine cowlings on the wings, and the black registration "G-YEOM" on the lower rear fuselage. There are red "Vodafone" titles on the upper rear fuselage, next to a red circle with a white, single quote mark in the middle. The tail is red, with diagonal white "Huawei" titles next to a white stylised image of an open flower. A thin strip of green grass at the bottom of the frame lines the side of the grey runway, with more grass and a taxiway visible under the plane in the background, with a large, green, boxy metal structure in front of a large grey hangar in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era bomber aircraft taxiing along a runway from left to right. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with thick black and white bands around the lower rear fuselage. There are very pale letters "HT-E" either side of a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow. There is a blue, white, and red fin flash on the lower part of the tail, above the black serial "RR299" on the upper rear fuselage. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a house and a fire truck in the distance, with trees beyond, under hazy grey skies.
