Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe swooping from under the lower forward fuselage and over the wing, with the yellow descending back under the rear fuselage, while the red takes over the rear fuselage and tail, with additional yellow swirls at the top and on the tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward if the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-304K" is on the upper rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron and black tarmac taxiway fill the foreground, with trees stretching across the background under hazy grey sky. In the middle of the background, a green fire training rig, vaguely resembling a 3-engined Boeing 747, is sitting there looking a bit sorry for itself.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane is largely white, with mauve, billboard-style "Qatar" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a grey Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, above the wing root, and the black registration "A7-BOF" on the lower rear fuselage, just below the last few cabin windows, and a small Qatari flag just above those windows. The tail is a very light grey, with darker grey stripes overlaid with the head of an animal with horns sticking out of the back of it's head. A smaller, circular version of the tail logo appears on the side of the white engine pods mounted under the wings. Grey concrete apron, marked with yellow lines for planes to follow, some of which are lit up, fills the foreground. More apron space fills the background, with a total of 13 jet airliners visible, parked facing in various directions, in an array of liveries that predominantly feature shades of white, blue, grey, and red. Trees in the distance are being swallowed up by grey mist.

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.
