A380

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely white, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the side of the upper forward fuselage, obscured by the large wing, with gold Arabic calligraphy on the up-turned wingtips and the sides of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "A6-EDQ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. A modified, waving version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates fills the white tail, with a diagonal green, white, and black stripe, with a red diagonal band wrapping around the leading edge of the tail and the side of the rear fuselage. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on a large section of concrete apron. The plane is almost entirely white, with large, golden "Emirates" titles on the forward fuselage, between the 2 passenger deck windows. A large, diagonal version of the United Arab Emirates flag fills the tail and part of the upper rear fuselage. Grey taxiways and a strip of green grass fills the foreground, with several more jet airliners parked in the background, with trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Close up of the forward fuselage of a white, twin engined bi-plane airliner taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane has a grey belly and engines, with a green stripe running along the body and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The pilot is visible in the cockpit, with passengers sitting in the cabin, visible through the triangular windows. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very small, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Sky Ranger" text over a stylised image of a mountain range on the upper fuselage immediately behind the cockpit doors, the blue registration "G-CFJG" on the tail, and the head of a fire-breathing dragon that, coincidentally, lines up perfectly with the pilots legs, as seen through the bottom of the glazed doors. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the distance, and patches of blue sky visible in gaps.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway with the rear panel of one of the engines slid back, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with large gold "Emirates" titles in English on the upper forward fuselage, between the 2 rows of passenger windows, and smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further back, over the wings. A waving United Arab Emirates flag (red vertical bar on the left, with equal green, white, and black stripes on the right) covers the tail and part of the rear fuselage. Golden calligraphic art made up of the characters that make up the airlines Arabic name adorns the engine pods, the cowling of the inner engines split as the rear portion has moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers. Another runway stretches across the foreground, lined by green grass, while a pair of large grey hangars dominate the background, under pale blue-grey 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.

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.
