Alitalia

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on a black runway, with the red and white tips of the propellors a spinning blur indicating they are running full tilt, flaps extended from behind the wings, and the rear cargo loading ramp almost fully deployed, with a man wearing olive-green fatigues crouched by the end of the ramp. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with a blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, next to the black serial number "VX232". There is a black number "232" on the nose under the cockpit, repeated on the tail, where it is sandwiched between a British flag above, and a red and blue fin flash below. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a tall grey hangar on the left, and a lower blue hangar on the left, with a couple of grey fighter jets in front of the latter. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur. Red spats over the main wheels have similar white stripes on the side Green grass fills the rest of the frame.
