Runway09Left

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with diagonal light and blue bands around the plane's nose, with large black "China Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to larger blue "Cargo" text. The black registration "B-18721" is under the upper deck windows, as well as on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white at the top and a pale purple at the bottom, with a pink and red flower filling most of the rest. The roof of a terminal building fills the foreground, with large air conditioning ducts in the middle, with large grey metal structures on either side of the screen. A large grey hangar fills most of the background, with a white and blue twin engined jet airliner parked in front. Hazy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a maroon stripe running along the body, covering the lower deck windows, and maroon "Qatar Airways" titles on the forward fuselage, in an Arabic script between the upper and lower deck windows, and in English below the lower deck windows. The tail is also maroon, with the white head of a horned, goat-like animal inside the outline of a white circle. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large grey hangar in the background on the left, several pale blue fuel tanks towards the middle, and a selection of other airport buildings on the right. Trees in the distance slowly vanish into a bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a grey belly, and a thin red and blue stripe running along the body, getting wider as it moves rearwards, then sweeping up to fill the tail. The engines, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, are in a bare metal state. The registration "G-OBWD" is visible on the upper rear fuselage. Grey concrete taxiways fill almost all the frame, apart from a red and white banded metal barrier stretching across the top of the frame.

Elevated side view of a single-engined tri-plane on display facing to the right in a museum. The doped-cloth skin of the plane has a streaky, light brown colour, similar to varnished oak. As well as having 3 stacked wings at the front, there are 3 horizontal stabilisers at the rear. The black words "Bullseye" and "Avroplane" are visible on the sides of the rear fuselage. Creamy-grey floor fills moist of the foreground and part of the background, with a military jet fighter plane visible at the top of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a green stripe starting in the middle of the upper fuselage, running forward along the top of the body, down under the cockpit windows, then back along the lower body, and up into the tail, and the green registration "D-AJOY" on the tail-cone, partially obscured by one of the engines on the rear fuselage. A grey taxiway fills the foreground, with a patch of green grass in the bottom right corner, and more grass in the background, leading up to several jet airliners partially obscured by jelly pouring out of the rear of the planes engines. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

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.

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.
